James,

Some months ago, I had problems with a mis-behaving disk that failed
domain validation on a fusion card resulting in an infinite loop of
domain validation.  At the time Eric proposed a patch to the mptspi
driver to reload devices with parameters previously negotiated when a
reset occurred.  You indicated that a more generic solution should be
done.

This patch updates spi_dv_device_internal() to check if domain
validation has already been performed on a device and just sets it
previously negotiated parameters.  This solved the "infinite domain
validation" loop for me when a reset is performed as a result of command
timeout with the mis-behaving device.
