Ranjan Kumar ffed0c8fcf scsi: mpt3sas: Perform additional retries if doorbell read returns 0
commit 4ca10f3e31745d35249a727ecd108eb58f0a8c5e upstream.

The driver retries certain register reads 3 times if the returned value is
0. This was done because the controller could return 0 for certain
registers if other registers were being accessed concurrently by the BMC.

In certain systems with increased BMC interactions, the register values
returned can be 0 for longer than 3 retries. Change the retry count from 3
to 30 for the affected registers to prevent problems with out-of-band
management.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
