Fixes & Enhancements
Changes from 4.15 =================
1) Driver is allocating enough continuous memory for the FLASH_WRITE_BLOCK(0x2c) command.
2) New commmand has been introduced to enhance the performance for SCSI I/O on non-raid SCSI channel.
3)In case of cluster reset, Driver was looping infinitely for the outstanding commands to get completed. This might result in the system hang. Driver has been modified to have a timeout and return Failure if the Firmware fails to complete the outstanding commands in a certain period of time.
4) Driver was allowing all the requests coming for a physical channel with TargetID greater than 15. Ideally Firmware should fail all the commands coming for the targetID > 15, but this fix has been put in the driver. Driver would return all the requests coming for the tagetID > 15 as an illegal requests.
