Subject: RE: megaraid_sas: "FW in FAULT state!!", how to get more debug
 output? [BKO63661]

Hi Kashyap,

I finally managed to backport your patch to the SLES 12 kernel :-) I'll
build a test kernel for the customer and have them test it. I'll let you
know if I need your help later for the SLES 11 SP3 kernel backport -
thanks for the offer!

Jean
