So Josh Paetzel says For the moment you can dismiss the alert.
Anyone know if the said card will still work correctly by just ignoring the alsert
From the bug report they actually contacted Avago and received a response confirming there is no issue, I can confirm from my machione that both my LSI SAS controllers are working fine. with driver version 21...
Broadcom/Avago/LSI has informed us the combination of p20 firmware and version 21 driver is acceptable. I'll add this case to the alert.

Ok great, but whre did you get driver version 21, or should that be firmware version 21?
Do you have a URL for it please?
When applied the 9.10.1 update , the system gave me a warning about the firmware version 20 does not match driver version 21.
So yes, driver version 21 is included in the update, but there is no firmware version 21 yet.
I wonder why driver version 20 was not kept in the update until firmware version 21 is out for general release.
It seems a bit like putting the horse before the cart.

Because, apparently, there is no firmware version 21. Period. The driver was updated, and the version number changed, without consideration for the prior requirement that the firmware and driver match versions.
Fair enough.

Yes, otherwise it would not be advised.
No, driver version 21 is out. You have it too. Just that there is no firmware version 21, just firmware version 20.

Why? You've been told repeatedly that there's no problem using 9.10.1, and its included driver version 21, with version 20 firmware.
Yes I know but I am getting a warning that firmware version 20 does not match driver version 21. I also wanted to know if the LSI card would still work as it should.
No one has yet told me that the card will work ok with firmware version 20.

It has been stated by @wblock that it is ok to use the driver version 21 with the firmware version 20. Maybe others have also said the same, but I don't see that as been repeatedly told.

What do you think he means by that, if not that it's OK to use driver version 21 with firmware version 20? And then there's this (admittedly, from a different thread):
Hey, it's your system; do what you want with it. But it's kind of odd to see a conversation go like this:
Josh: It's OK to do it.
You: OK, I won't do it.
@wblock: Really, it's OK to do it.
You: Fine, then I won't do it.
Cyberjock: We've confirmed that it's safe to do it.
You: That's why I won't do it.
