Hello. So recently I've got a ProLiant G9 server which comes with an HP "Smart Array" P840. I've checked if the ciss(4) driver supports this card. In the manpage (https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi...FreeBSD+15.0-CURRENT&arch=default&format=html) it isn't listed as supported.
But in the ciss.c file in the FreeBSD source code, it is listed as supported: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/sys/dev/ciss/ciss.c#L398
Is it safe to assume that FreeBSD does _indeed_ support the Smart Array P840 and the manpage is out of date? I could write a patch for the manpage to include the missing RAID cards if necessary

Code:
/************************************************************************
* CISS adapters amazingly don't have a defined programming interface
* value. (One could say some very despairing things about PCI and
* people just not getting the general idea.) So we are forced to
* stick with matching against subvendor/subdevice, and thus have to
* be updated for every new CISS adapter that appears.
