The driver issues all non-ReadWrite I/Os for TYPE_ENCLOSURE devices through the fast path with invalid dev handle. Fast path in turn directs all the I/Os to the firmware. As firmware stopped handling those I/Os from SAS3.5 generation of controllers (Ventura generation and onwards) this will lead to I/O failures. Switch the driver to issue all the non-ReadWrite I/Os for TYPE_ENCLOSURE devices directly to firmware for SAS3.5 generation of controllers and later.

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.
