[PATCH 1/1] scsi: qla1280: Make 64-bit DMA addressing a Kconfig option
From: Magnus Lindholm
Date: Mon Jul 28 2025 - 12:38:37 EST
Make 64-bit DMA addressing a Kconfig option.
While defaulting to 64-bit addressing, this gives the user the option
to revert to 32-bits when necessary without messing with the kernel
source. The Kconfig help text also points out the issues with tsunami
based alphas with more than 2GB RAM and 32-bit PCI Qlogic SCSI
controllers.

+ This options enables full 64-bit addressing for Qlogic ISP
+ chips. 64-bit addressing works on most platforms and is hence
+ the default. Some platforms like for example the SGI Octace2,
+ require full 64-bit addressing in order to work and must have
+ this option enabled.
+
+ On some systems, like tsunami based Alpha systems, 32-bit
+ PCI Qlogic SCSI controllers will not work propberly on systems
+ with more than 2GB RAM installed. If you are on a tsunami
+ based alpha (like the ES40, DS20) and want to use cards with
+ the ISP1040/1020 chip, you should say no here.
