Subject: [34-longterm 128/179] ses: requesting a fault indication

From: Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@...erlog.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 2a350cab9daf9a46322d83b091bb05cf54ccf6ab upstream.

Noticed that when the sysfs interface of the SCSI SES
driver was used to request a fault indication the LED
flashed but the buzzer didn't sound. So it was doing
what REQUEST IDENT (locate) should do.

Changelog:
   - fix the setting of REQUEST FAULT for the device slot
     and array device slot elements in the enclosure control
     diagnostic page
   - note the potentially defective code that reads the
     FAULT SENSED and FAULT REQUESTED bits from the enclosure
     status diagnostic page

The attached patch is against git/scsi-misc-2.6
