That change matches the pattern of all other drivers calling
sas_remove_host, except for one:
	drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c

That consensus means this comment in drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_sas.c
is wrong:

/**
 * sas_remove_host  -  tear down a Scsi_Host's SAS data structures
 * @shost:      Scsi Host that is torn down
 *
 * Removes all SAS PHYs and remote PHYs for a given Scsi_Host.
 * Must be called just before scsi_remove_host for SAS HBAs.
 */
