What is the native hba driver in esxi 6.5?

I am having problems with my ESXi 6.5, it keeps complaining about the raid controller and it disconnects the LUN more often.

The raid controller that is installed is Megaraid SAS 9271-4i and the native controller that was installed 7.703.15.00-1OEM.XXXX. When I researched that version in the internet, it shows that it is meant for LSI Megaraid 12gbps family (which is for 93XX)

While on the manufacturer's website

And it's telling me to use this driver "lsi-mr3-7.702.14.00-1OEM"

ESXi 6.5

I am not sure if the native driver 7.703.15.00-1OEM.XXXX is compatible with Megaraid SAS 9271-4i and I am thinking that this is the reason why I am having this issue.  

Please help, I am having this issue for months now.

I am seeing in the server that the LSI Megaraid 9271-4i SAS driver that was installed during the vmware installation has the version 7.703.15.00-1OEM.XXXX. When I researched that version in the internet, it shows that it is meant for LSI Megaraid 12gbps family (which is for 93XX)https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI65-AVAGO-LSI-MR3-77031500-1OEM&product...
