We moved FC protocol/port state machine part of the driver to the firmware to make the driver simpler. We also implemented the code review comments received from last submission which includes: 1) replaced bfa specific list management routines by standard linux list implemetation. 2) Other minor fixes such as namming, kconfig etc. Please note that this driver is still not fully functioning. We expect to do anoher submssion next week after we complete all the changes. It contains a serial of 5 patches generated using 2.6.29-rc8 kernel. Here is a brief description of each patch: [PATCH 1/5]: Linux driver specific code, things such as module load/unload, PCI probe/release, interrupt handler, and sysfs interface etc. All the files start with "bfad_" prefix. [PATCH 2/5]: Hardware/FW access code. All files start with "bfa_" prefix. [PATCH 3/5]: Common header files shared by linux driver specific and hardware/FW access code. [PATCH 4/5]: Updated Kconfig and Makefile for driver/scsi, and Makefile for bfa driver [PATCH 5/5]: Updated MAINTAINER file.
