Subject: scsi: qla2xxx: Update flash read/write routine
X-Git-Tag: v5.4-rc1~699^2~302
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3695310e37b4e571d40593cbe59188b0006a2274;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

scsi: qla2xxx: Update flash read/write routine

This patch makes following changes to flash access routines:

- update return type for read_optrom
- use void instead of uint32_t * for buffer parameter in read
  and write optrom routines
- fix flash/nvram addressing
