Merge tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi
Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley: "This update includes the usual round of major driver updates (hpsa, be2iscsi, hisi_sas, zfcp, cxlflash). There's a new incarnation of hpsa called smartpqi for which a driver is added, there's some cleanup work of the ibm vscsi target and updates to libfc, plus a whole host of minor fixes and updates and finally the removal of several ISA drivers which seem not to have been used for years" * tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi: (173 commits) scsi: mvsas: Mark symbols static where possible scsi: pm8001: Mark symbols static where possible scsi: arcmsr: Simplify user_len checking scsi: fcoe: fix off by one in eth2fc_speed() scsi: dtc: remove from tree scsi: t128: remove from tree scsi: pas16: remove from tree scsi: u14-34f: remove from tree scsi: ultrastor: remove from tree scsi: in2000: remove from tree scsi: wd7000: remove from tree scsi: scsi_dh_alua: Fix memory leak in alua_rtpg() scsi: lpfc: Mark symbols static where possible scsi: hpsa: correct call to hpsa_do_reset scsi: ufs: Get a TM service response from the correct offset scsi: ibmvfc: Fix I/O hang when port is not mapped scsi: megaraid_sas: clean function declarations in megaraid_sas_base.c up scsi: ipr: Remove redundant messages at adapter init time scsi: ipr: Don't log unnecessary 9084 error details scsi: smartpqi: raid bypass lba calculation fix ...
