Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/5] bfa: Brocade BFA FC SCSI driver (bfad)

some quick general comments:

- Patch needs to be run through checkpatch.pl again.
- If you are not implementing a callout like issue_lip then you do not 
need to implement a function that does nothing.
- Remove the OS compat stuff that just calls right into the linux 
function. For example kill bfad_os_pci_probe.

I think I asked about this before. Why do you just not allocate the bfad 
or im_port in the hostdata? What is the struct hierarchy? Do you have 
one bfad for the entire HBA/pci_device then have a im_port for each port 
on the hba?
