There is an issue that the status of a remote SAS PHY may be initialized incorrectly: if disable remote SAS PHY through sysfs interface (such as echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-1:0:0/enable), then reboot the system, and we will find the status of remote SAS PHY which is disabled before is 1 (cat /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-1:0:0/enable). But actually the status of remote SAS PHY is disabled and the device attached is not found. In SAS protocol, NEGOTIATED LOGICAL LINK RATE field of DISCOVER response is 0x1 when remote SAS PHY is disabled. So initialize sas_phy->enabled according to the value of NEGOTIATED LOGICAL LINK RATE field.
