Description of problem: Reviewing patches applied to RHEL3 U6 kernel I spotted an inconsistency in the naming convension for a new HP cciss supported device. The device in question is referenced as both P400 and E400 in file linux-2.4.21/drivers/block/cciss.c code snippets: MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE("HP SA5i SA5i+ SA532 SA5300 SA5312 SA641 SA642 SA6400" " SA6i P600 P800 P400 E200 E200i"); { 0x3234103C, "Smart Array E400", &SA5_access}, In doc file linux-2.4.21/Documentation/cciss.txt the device was referenced as SA P400 I discussed this with Tom Coughlan and he told me the device in question is new hardware that would not be out in the real world during the life cycle of RHEL3 U6. The only impact of the current code could be naming confusion. Tom also mentioned HP were still in flux with the naming choice. Created this so things could be tided for RHEL3 U7. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-37.EL.src.rpm and kernel-source-2.4.21-37.EL.i386.rpm have the inconsistentcy. How reproducible: Nothing to reproduce, just code review. Additional info: None.
