This patchset introduces some minor improvements and tidy-up, including:
- fix PHY info in sysfs for PHY events
- min pathway rate programming improvement
- some other tidy-up and neatening

John Garry (6):
  scsi: libsas: Stop hardcoding SAS address length
  scsi: libsas: Try to retain programmed min linkrate for SATA min
    pathway unmatch fixing
  scsi: libsas: Improve vague log in SAS rediscovery
  scsi: libsas: Inject revalidate event for root port event
  scsi: libsas: Do discovery on empty PHY to update PHY info
  scsi: libsas: Print expander PHY indexes in decimal

Applied to 5.2/scsi-queue, thanks!

One thing that always bugged me is the ambiguous "ex" prefix for many
libsas log messages. And in a way, your patch #3 makes things worse by
replacing the more descriptive "Expander" with "ex". It does make things
more consistent, though.

I'd really like to see all the libsas messages be cleaned up with a
sensible prefix and a consistent format where possible.

Hi Martin,

Sorry for the slow response.

OK, understood. Personally I prefer the brevity of "ex". However, apart 
from this, adding the SAS address to the log does add value.

So all libsas messages do have the "sas: " prefix, but they still can be 
vague/inconsistent at times.

Anyway, I'll check what can be done here.

Thanks,
