I'm all confused here.

cciss-fix-regression-firmware-not-displayed-in-procfs-again-and-again.patch
is now in mainline. Are you saying that "cciss: Firmware Version is
invalid" is preferred? That "cciss: Firmware Version is invalid"
should still be applied?

If so, "cciss: Firmware Version is invalid" will need a better title
and changelog, please. The one you have there is pretty skimpy.
reading between the lines, I'm guessing that the driver emits "Firmware
Version is invalid" messages and that this patch somehow fixes that?
