Hi James,

I resubmitted the bfa driver patches which include fixes for some code review comments provided by Sam Ravnborg on our July 20 submission.

Here, on behalf of Brocade Communication System, Inc, I am requesting you to include the driver into the linux SCSI tree. We will continue to enhance the driver and fix issues reported from linux-scsi community and our internal test group as well.

Thanks and best regards.
