Hi Dan,

Thanks for doing this. I've tested this patchset for a while and it works good.

You can add my test-by or acked-by if needed.

Best regards!

>   crashes, a long standing bug that caused libsas to be
>   incompatible with expanders that advertised "PHY_VACANT" in low order
>   phy indexes, and a quirk for expanders that sometimes fail to zero
>   the sas address when no device is attached.
