[Bug 658266] [NEW] emulex lpfc HBA driver does not load in 2.6.35 kernel

[linuxdatacenter]

Public bug reported:

After installing 2.6.35 kernel the lpfc module does not initialize
properly.

The following message appears on TTY0 at boot time:

==
lpfc.. Adapter failed to init READ_REV has missing revision information.
...
Firmware initialization failed.
Failed to setup hba.
==


I've verified that this is a compile option issue and setting this option in kernel config solves the problem:

-# CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is not set 
+CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y

This concerns probably all kernels with versions above 2.6.33 for ubuntu.
This issue has been verified on two hardware platforms (ibm,hp) with emulex HBAs and on two kernels (Lucid and Maverick)
