In the past, the lpe32000 models, based their main support being for 32G, and as FC-AL is not supported in the FC standards past 8G, did not support FC-AL operation. This patch adds private-loop FC-AL support for the LPE32000 adapters when a link is 8G or below. To avoid conditions where link rate may change, which would cause non-connectivity to the AL device, FC-AL mode must become a persistent setting and the link kept at a speed supporting FC-AL. The patch: - Adds a pls attribute indicating whether the adapter properly supports FC-AL. - Adds support for the adapter to indicate that topology should be fixed and the topology types to be configured. - Adds a pt attribute to report the persistent topology if present.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
