 qla24xx_els_dcmd_iocb

* I would usually expect a corresponding cover letter for patch series.

* Would you like to add parentheses to the function name in the summary phrase?

> When dma_alloc_coherent() or qla2x00_start_sp() return an error,

                                                  call returned?

                                     free “fcport”?

> qla2x00_free_fcport() again in the error handling path.

                                                    paths?

> Fix this by cleaning the duplicate qla2x00_free_fcport() calls up.

Would the wording “Thus delete duplicate qla2x00_free_fcport() calls.” be a bit nicer?

* How do you think about to avoid the repetition of version identifiers
  (according to the selected enumeration style)?

* You would probably like to avoid another typo here.
