RFC: adding the SCSI hptiop driver to 2.6.16
I'd like to add the SCSI hptiop driver to the 2.6.16 tree.
The backport of the driver in 2.6.18 seems to be straightforward.
My questions are:
Is there any reason I miss why this driver might not work in 2.6.16?
I lack the hardware, and I can therefore only test the compilation. Would anyone who has the hardware be willing to test whether this actually works?
TIA

Actually, the driver was developped and tested on 2.6.16 before it was submitted.
Thanks for this information, I've added the hptiop driver to 2.6.16.
