This looks wrong to me. I think you've just prevented all START STOP 
commands sent to logical volumes from reaching

        return ((*ha->func.issue) (ha, scb));

I think a better patch is to add a "fall though" comment not a "break" 
statement. (I no longer have access to a ServeRAID board so I can't test.)
