This driver works, but is still in experimental status. So better
have a bootable disk and a backup in case of emergency.
Documentation can be found in <file:Documentation/scsi/dc395x.txt>.
Documentation can be found in <file:Documentation/scsi/dc395x.rst>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called dc395x.
