Our duplication is to send an out-of-band CLI command to a downstream expander's Firmware and tell it to disable one of it's phys. Sounds simple, but not when someone else has all the customized pieces and serial cables ;-/ and the duplicator has moved on in priority. Pregnant thought, smp_phy_control --phy=? --op=dis (wrong side, probably too 'wide' of an aim) has not been tried ...

What is your reproduction scenario for this bug?
