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. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
