"We make DISCE_DESTROY responsible for deleting the child devices as
well as the port." == "Libsas should delete all the devices from rphy
down before deleting the parent port."

Yes, it's just an elaborate workaround since port->port is already torn down.

Not sure, I'd have to go look if libsas is prepared to have port->port
being valid for longer.

It's already performed by sas_port_delete()

Sounds ok in theory.  I don't have a libsas environment handy, I
worked with Praveen to validate the version as submitted if you want
to re-work it.
