From: Dick Kennedy dick.kennedy@broadcom.com

[ Upstream commit e8bcf0ae4c0346fdc78ebefe0eefcaa6a6622d38 ]

Local Reject/Invalid RPI errors seen during discovery.

Temporary RPI cleanup was occurring regardless of SLI rev. It's only necessary on SLI-4.

Adjust the test for whether cleanup is necessary.
