Dell perc card corrupted by FreeBSD driver?

All,

We have a Dell Perc h330 mini that we’ve been using with the older “mfi” driver, not the newer mrsas.  Recently, it started giving us an error on boot claiming that it was "Disabling writes to flash as the flash part has gone bad"

In the Dell Forums, a dell staffer very suspiciously saw this error and said “are you running FreeBSD?” (https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/rack-servers/disabling-writes-to-flash-as-the-flash-part-has-gone-bad/647f9010f4ccf8a8de13d06e)

Is there something about the driver we use that’s known to cause breakage?  Is there a known firmware that fixes this?  Is there a better place to ask this than the general “questions” list?

This system is out of warranty, but as we have a lot of Dell machines out in the field doing Important DNS Things, I may open a generic case with a system that *is* under warranty to ask more about this.  In the meantime, if anyone who maintains the driver knows something, I’d love to hear from you.
