Filing bugs against Ubuntu doesn't always attract the attention of those who the reporter thinks should see the bug report.

Refiling the bug against iprutils.

Clarification - this feature is for an update to the ipr device driver. There is a separate feature request for the iprutils package. This driver update is targeted for the 4.8 kernel.

Ok, so back to Ubuntu for someone else to reassign to the correct package.

We will be going with the ipr driver level that makes it into 4.8 for this feature request. Patches are in scsi-next, to be pushed in the next merge window.
