Update SmartPQI driver in Focal to 1.2.10-025

[Jeff Lane ]

[IMPACT]
Feature request to update the SmartPQI driver in Focal to 1.2.10-025
Microchip produces the Smart Storage controllers that are used by several major OEMs we partner with. There is a new generation of controller coming to market later this summer. While customers will be able to use these new controllers with the driver as it is in Focal today, they will be missing several bug fixes and enhancements that have already landed upstream in 5.5. For this reason, Microchip and HPE have asked us to pull these patches to update the SmartPQI driver in Focal to the current upstream version.

[FIXES]
These are the recommended patches from Microchip that should be cherry-picked from mainline.
390e28087823 scsi: smartpqi: bump version
694c5d5b4625 scsi: smartpqi: Align driver syntax with oob
0fa31a88bfd2 scsi: smartpqi: remove unused manifest constants
5b083b305b49 scsi: smartpqi: fix problem with unique ID for physical device
e655d469c32d scsi: smartpqi: correct syntax issue
bb9af08cfc41 scsi: smartpqi: change TMF timeout from 60 to 30 seconds
c2922f174fa0 scsi: smartpqi: fix LUN reset when fw bkgnd thread is hung
21432010d528 scsi: smartpqi: add inquiry timeouts
b969261134c1 scsi: smartpqi: fix call trace in device discovery
0530736e40a0 scsi: smartpqi: fix controller lockup observed during force reboot
9e322310e16c scsi: smartpqi: clean up an indentation issue
1c6294858950 scsi: smartpqi: remove set but not used variable 'ctrl_info'
a3a65ddd79c3 scsi: smartpqi: clean up indentation of a statement

All are clean cherry picks into the 5.4 branch and can be pulled from my branch here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~bladernr/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/focal/+ref/1864484-smartpqi-to-1.2.10-025

[TESTING]
modinfo for smartpqi should show:

version: 1.2.10-025
description: Driver for Microsemi Smart Family Controller version 1.2.10-025

[REGRESSION RISK]
Low - Focal is not yet released, this is not being backported to current releases, patches pick cleanly and have been tested by the upstream maintainers.
