My testing (done with a SLES12 kernel), without my patches, showed these traces for the removal of "sas_port" structures. Adding PATCH 1/2 indeed adds more of these warnings (now for "sas_port" *and* "sas_phy"). But that's not the fault of this patch; it's caused by the sequence of actions in hpsa_remove_one() and it's fixed in PATCH 2/2.
