Call sas_remove_host() before removing the target devices in the driver's .remove() callback function(i.e. during driver unload time). So that driver can provide a way to allow SYNC CACHE, START STOP unit commands etc. (which are issued from SML) to the target drives during driver unload time. Once sas_remove_host() is called before removing the target drives then driver can just clean up the resources allocated for target devices and no need to call sas_port_delete_phy(), sas_port_delete() API's as these API's internally called from sas_remove_host().
