MPT Fusion driver updates. Please consider it for next rc update.
We still have a basic confusion here: Things that are enhancements or optimisations can't go in the next rc update, they have to wait for the merge window. What I need are two separate patch sets: one for the fixes tree and one for the merge window. As long as the patches below separate easily, I can do this manually (basically only 4,5 are bug fixes) ... where do you want the version change to go? With the entire patch set (so in the merge window)?

James Thanks for the clarification. Actually earlier I did not catch your point that I have to send two different patch set. Next time I would consider that as a standard practice.
Thanks for marking patch 4, 5 as valid candidate for this time. It will be good to have version patch update with fixes.
