drivers/scsi/elx/libefc

libefc Fibre Channel helper library for Emulex elx

A shared internal library of Fibre Channel protocol helpers used by the Emulex elx SCSI stack. It provides common code (login state machines, node and domain handling, framing) that the actual Emulex Fibre Channel driver links against, rather than driving any hardware itself.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a support library inside the Emulex elx SCSI subsystem. It exists only to be consumed by the real hardware-binding driver code elsewhere under drivers/scsi/elx, so it does not warrant a standalone keep-or-remove decision.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: `libefc` is an internal helper/library subdirectory under the elx SCSI subsystem, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
