Subject: [046/102] [SCSI] hpsa: do not attempt to read from a write-only register

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: "Stephen M. Cameron" <scameron@...rdog.cce.hp.com>

commit fec62c368b9c8b05d5124ca6c3b8336b537f26f3 upstream.

Most smartarrays tolerate it, but a few new ones don't.
Without this change some newer Smart Arrays will lock up
and i/o will grind to a halt.
