Bug Description
[Impact]
Most Ubuntu customers prefer the simplicity of using inbox drivers over out-of-box drivers Microsemi provides. To do that well, we should keep that inbox driver moving forward. If we don't land the updates in 18.04.4 customers would be waiting until ~ August 2020 for the 18.04.5 update.
Microsemi have asked to have them pulled into 5.3 to update the SmartPQI driver that we carry.
[Fixes]
The following patches are in 5.4 Mainline and Focal.
391a24179423 scsi: smartpqi: bump version
48edb8780100 scsi: smartpqi: update copyright
63a7956ae1e8 scsi: smartpqi: add new pci ids
9946a3987248 scsi: smartpqi: correct REGNEWD return status
71ecc60d9ba4 scsi: smartpqi: add gigabyte controller
530dd8a7a2b1 scsi: smartpqi: correct hang when deleting 32 lds
2d2ad4bc724e scsi: smartpqi: add bay identifier
6d90615f1346 scsi: smartpqi: add sysfs entries
522bc026f013 scsi: smartpqi: add module param to hide vsep
8bdb3b9c67c5 scsi: smartpqi: add pci ids for fiberhome controller
5e6a9760f7da scsi: smartpqi: add module param for exposure order
All are clean cherry-picks into Eoan/master-next from 5.4 and do not touch anything outside of Microsemi's smartpqi driver.
These have been cherry picked into my branch found here:

[Testing]
Verify via lsmod the driver is loaded
Verify via modinfo the driver version is correct (1.2.8-026)
[Regression Risk]
Low, these are updates and bug fixes from the upstream maintainer and have already been tested by the upstream on Ubuntu.
