ok, so then the change to set ex_phy->port = ex->parent_port looks ok.
Maybe we can put this in a helper with the sas_port_add_phy() call, as
it is duplicated in sas_ex_join_wide_port()

Do we also need to set ex_phy->phy_state (like sas_ex_join_wide_port())?

Then when we get the proper linkrate later, will we then rediscover and
set the proper SAS address? I am just wondering if this change is really
required?

BTW, Even with the change to set ex_phy->port = ex->parent_port, are we
still joining the host-attached expander phy (19) to a port with SAS
address == 0?

Yes, but in fact it has not reached that stage yet. After setting the
address to 0, it will continue to create a new port and try to add other
phys with the same address as it to this new port.

Yes, in order to avoid this situation, in the current patch, we will not
force the SAS address to be set to 0 when the device type is not NULL,
but will still use the address obtained after requesting the expander.

this looks ok. How about adding this helper and using it in a separate

I'd prefer sas_expander.c, but sas_add_parent_port() is here... having
said that, sas_add_parent_port() is only used in sas_expander.c

creating a port for SAS address == 0 and adding phys seems incorrect, right?

Yes. There are three possible ways to solve the problem of creating a
port with a zero address:
1. Use the sas address obtained by querying the expander instead of the
zero address.
2. Forbid the phy with an address of 0 to create a port.
3. When the rate is less than 1.5G, do not let it enter
sas_ex_discover_end_dev().

Because when the device type is not empty, its SAS address is legal, and
we are currently using the first one.
