commit b04e75a upstream The dpt_i2o driver was fixed to stop using virt_to_bus() in 2008, but it still has a stale reference in an error handling code path that could never work. I submitted a patch to fix this reference earlier, but Hannes Reinecke suggested that removing the driver may be just as good here. The i2o driver layer was removed in 2015 with commit 4a72a7a ("staging: remove i2o subsystem"), but the even older dpt_i2o scsi driver stayed around. The last non-cleanup patches I could find were from Miquel van Smoorenburg and Mark Salyzyn back in 2008, they might know if there is any chance of the hardware still being used anywhere.
