According to Gerard Roudier:

I'm now running with your new driver and it seems to run fine. Dunno really if
it faster or not (seems a bit but Bonnie -- a poor benchmark I know -- is
almost the same). BTW, I've the same problem with your driver than I had with
the ncr one: the LED is constantly on... With the ncr driver, adding
options SCSI_NCR_SYMBIOS_COMPAT # for LEDs
"fixes" the problem. Which #define does the same for sym0 ? SYM_OPT_LED0 ?
