commit 8e3ed9e786511ad800c33605ed904b9de49323cf upstream.
In BMC environments with concurrent access to multiple registers, certain registers occasionally yield a value of 0 even after 3 retries due to hardware errata. As a fix, we have extended the retry count from 3 to 30.
The same errata applies to the mpt3sas driver, and a similar patch has been accepted. Please find more details in the mpt3sas patch reference link.
