This patch adds support for SATA over SAS expanders to the previous two
SATA support in libsas patches.
There were a couple of nasty non trivial things to sort out before this
one could be made to work.
Firstly, I'd like to thank Doug Gilbert for diagnosing a problem with
the LSI expanders where the REPORT_SATA_PHY command was returning the
D2H FIS in the wrong order (Although, here, I think I have to blame the
SAS standards which specifies the FIS "shall be returned in little
endian format" and later on "which means resp[24] shall be FIS type"
The latter, of course, implying big endian format). Just to make sure,
I put a check for the D2H FIS type being in the wrong position and
reverse the FIS data if it is.
The second is a problem outlined in Annex G of the SAS standard (again,
a technical point with D2H FIS ... necessitating a phy reset on certain
conditions).
With the patch, I can now see my SATA-1 disk in a cascaded expander
configuration.
