Local fix

Problem summary

  • The customer will see a false fatal hardware error against the
    adapter device.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The false fatal error happens because we compare the opcode of
    the current command "to be" issued with the opcode of the
    mailbox command response. So, the fix in the adapter driver
    rectifies this by ensuring that the opcode of the mailbox
    command actually issued is compared with the opcode from the
    response to the mailbox command.
    Also, a change is made to ensure that the register login
    mailbox command from the Async PLOGI response is issued via the
    appropriate mailbox command slot.
