Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley: "This series has a huge amount of churn because it pulls in Mauro's doc update changing all our txt files to rst ones. Excluding that, we have the usual driver updates (qla2xxx, ufs, lpfc, zfcp, ibmvfc, pm80xx, aacraid), a treewide update for scnprintf and some other minor updates. The major core change is Hannes moving functions out of the aacraid driver and into the core" * tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi: (223 commits) scsi: aic7xxx: aic97xx: Remove FreeBSD-specific code scsi: ufs: Do not rely on prefetched data scsi: dc395x: remove dc395x_bios_param scsi: libiscsi: Fix error count for active session scsi: hpsa: correct race condition in offload enabled scsi: message: fusion: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member scsi: qedi: Add PCI shutdown handler support scsi: qedi: Add MFW error recovery process scsi: ufs: Enable block layer runtime PM for well-known logical units scsi: ufs-qcom: Override devfreq parameters scsi: ufshcd: Let vendor override devfreq parameters scsi: ufshcd: Update the set frequency to devfreq scsi: ufs: Resume ufs host before accessing ufs device scsi: ufs-mediatek: customize the delay for enabling host scsi: ufs: make HCE polling more compact to improve initialization latency scsi: ufs: allow custom delay prior to host enabling scsi: ufs-mediatek: use common delay function scsi: ufs: introduce common and flexible delay function scsi: ufs: use an enum for host capabilities scsi: ufs: fix uninitialized tx_lanes in ufshcd_disable_tx_lcc() ...

+NCR53c400 extensions Copyright |copy| 1994,1995,1996 Kevin Lentin
+
+This file documents the NCR53c400 extensions by Kevin Lentin and some
+enhancements to the NCR5380 core.
+
+This driver supports NCR5380 and NCR53c400 and compatible cards in port or
+memory mapped modes.
+
+Use of an interrupt is recommended, if supported by the board, as this will
+allow targets to disconnect and thereby improve SCSI bus utilization.
+
+If the irq parameter is 254 or is omitted entirely, the driver will probe
+for the correct IRQ line automatically. If the irq parameter is 0 or 255
+then no IRQ will be used.
+
+The NCR53c400 does not support DMA but it does have Pseudo-DMA which is
+supported by the driver.
+
+This driver provides some information on what it has detected in
+/proc/scsi/g_NCR5380/x where x is the scsi card number as detected at boot
+time. More info to come in the future.
+
+This driver works as a module.
+When included as a module, parameters can be passed on the insmod/modprobe
+command line:
+
+ ============= ===============================================================
+ irq=xx[,...] the interrupt(s)
+ base=xx[,...] the port or base address(es) (for port or memory mapped, resp.)
+ card=xx[,...] card type(s):
+
+ == ======================================
+ 0 NCR5380,
+ 1 NCR53C400,
+ 2 NCR53C400A,
+ 3 Domex Technology Corp 3181E (DTC3181E)
+ 4 Hewlett Packard C2502
+ == ======================================
+ ============= ===============================================================
+
+These old-style parameters can support only one card:
+
+ ============= =================================================
+ ncr_irq=xx the interrupt
+ ncr_addr=xx the port or base address (for port or memory
+ mapped, resp.)
+ ncr_5380=1 to set up for a NCR5380 board
+ ncr_53c400=1 to set up for a NCR53C400 board
+ ncr_53c400a=1 to set up for a NCR53C400A board
+ dtc_3181e=1 to set up for a Domex Technology Corp 3181E board
+ hp_c2502=1 to set up for a Hewlett Packard C2502 board
+ ============= =================================================
+
+E.g. Trantor T130B in its default configuration::
+
+ modprobe g_NCR5380 irq=5 base=0x350 card=1
+
+or alternatively, using the old syntax::
+
+ modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=5 ncr_addr=0x350 ncr_53c400=1
+
+E.g. a port mapped NCR5380 board, driver to probe for IRQ::
+
+ modprobe g_NCR5380 base=0x350 card=0
+
+or alternatively::
+
+ modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_addr=0x350 ncr_5380=1
+
+E.g. a memory mapped NCR53C400 board with no IRQ::
+
+ modprobe g_NCR5380 irq=255 base=0xc8000 card=1
+
+or alternatively::
+
+ modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0xc8000 ncr_53c400=1
+
+E.g. two cards, DTC3181 (in non-PnP mode) at 0x240 with no IRQ
+and HP C2502 at 0x300 with IRQ 7::
+
+ modprobe g_NCR5380 irq=0,7 base=0x240,0x300 card=3,4
