 The hotplug concept may be extended to SCSI devices. Currently, when an
-HBA is added, the scsi_add_host() function causes a scan for SCSI devices
+HBA is added, the scsi_scan_host() function causes a scan for SCSI devices
 attached to the HBA's SCSI transport. On newer SCSI transports the HBA
 may become aware of a new SCSI device _after_ the scan has completed.
 An LLD can use this sequence to make the mid level aware of a SCSI device:
