Version 5.33
-------------------------------------
FW Version: 5.33

Fixed issue:
-Added support for the Lenovo NEW34 SAS backplane wherein the Lenovo SKUs are set to use the auto backplane detection and all SKUs have internal connection only. Each internal connector allocates one element out of an internal enclosure array which is shared by the SAS enclosure and the SGPIO enclosure. The SAS enclosure always initialize before the SGPIO enclosure. When the Lenovo NEW34 SAS backplane is connected to a Lenovo HBA, the backplane type detected is SGPIO. As a result, the firmware will proceed and set up the
SGPIO enclosure. Upon the SGPIO enclosure initialization, the firmware makes sure that it does not overwrite the SAS enclosure data.
-Added support for reporting the previous cache read/write setting to the PLDM when the only_read cache setting happens. A sense feature page 0x10 in BMIC 0x61 and a save user cache setting in BMIC 0xC1 were added.
-Added support for the firmware to hide the NVMe drive attached to the Lenovo UBM backplane. The Lenovo "Anybay" backplane can be set up to route the SAS/SATA drive to the Lenovo HBA and the NVMe drive to the PCIe. As a result, the firmware does not need to expose any NVMe drive found, to the UFEI/BIOS and OS driver. It will not mark it as a failed device either.
-Added SEEPROM and manufacturing support for the Lenovo card 5350-8i-INTR. As a result, a new SEEPROM file and manufacturing data file were added.
-Added FUP support for the Lenovo card 5350-8i INTR. As a result, new SKU PCI IDs were added in the firmware build script.
-Added support to enable random logical drive deletion without a backup power source on the controllers supporting data preservation. Firmware disk-based transformation limitation of transformation backup memory has been increased from 8192 sectors (4 MiB) to 28672 sectors (14 MiB). Since the maximum safe stripe size is 12 MiB for an 8GB controller, it is sufficient to increase the RIS area expansion size to 14 MiB.
-Fixed an issue where the firmware does not abort all pending requests when the device LUN reset happens.
-Fixed an issue where the PBSI multi-lun field remains unset for multi-lun drives.
-Fixed an issue wherein a ~8% performance drop occurred on HBA mode for 4K/8K random read with the IO queue depth of 64 or higher after upgrading the firmware version from v1.32 to v4.11.
-Fixed an issue where the RAID Stack continuously retries a command to the SEP device that was completed with the TASK SET FULL status.

-Fixed an issue where a wrong location is displayed for the temperature sensor 0.
-Fixed an issue where the pointers in PLDM commands were being accessed before being initialized.
