With port bounce/address swaps and timing between initiator GID queries vs remote port FC4 support registrations, the driver may be in a situation where it sends PRLIs for both FCP and NVME even though the target may not support one of the protocols. In this case, the remote port will reject the PRLI and usually indicate it does not support the request. However, the driver currently ignores the status of the failure and immediately retries the PRLI, which is pointless. In the case of this one remote port, the reception of the PRLI retry caused it to decide to send a LOGO. The LOGO restarted the process and the same results happened. It made the remote port undiscoverable to either protocol. Add logic to detect the non-support status and not attempt the retry of the PRLI.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
