This is a SCSI patch (although I admit with fusion sitting in
drivers/message it's hard to tell without looking in the MAINTAINERS
file).

If I remember rightly this check is necessary because phy_info can be
NULL in certain situations. Your patch will trip this to oops. What
your description needs to say is that we no longer need to check this
pointer for NULL because it was checked somewhere else in the stack ...
but I can't see where that is, where is it?
