Meelis Roos bef4e68830 scsi: aacraid: Fix driver oops with dead battery
The battery in my HP NetRAID-4M died of old age, and the aacraid driver
started oopsing with NULL pointer dereference on startup after that.

Fix it by reordering the init sequence to fill in function pointers
before ioremapping memory, or dev->a_ops.adapter_ioremap pointer will be
NULL.

Other subtypes of aacraid seem to have the order already correct.

This was the call trace:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
