So, what's the decision - are we only allowing this for physical adapters
that don't have a name ? or are we allowing it to be more dynamic ?
At a minimum, I think(?) we all agree that current upstream aic94xx
behavior is nice: allow the admin to override the WWN manually, even if
the adapter already has one.
As to the question of request_firmware() versus sysfs, it's IMO largely
a question of taste -- do you like the "get property" on-demand pull
model, or a push model that presumes the property must be set before it
is needed? And which solution requires the least amount of additional
userspace machinery in order to be usable?
