[SCSI] mpt2sas: sanity added to remove duplicate port from topology
There are few special cases which needs to be handled deleting old port. CASE1: In topology you need cascaded expanders. Through sysfs just make sure topology is up. Erase the manufacturing image of the cascaded expander and reset the board. In some cases Adapter will receive Exapnder Add event before expander delete. In such a case, driver needs to delete duplicate port before adding new port. CASE2: Enable Device Missing delay of HBA through lsiutils. If expander or end device is hotswapped with different device before DMD timer expires, driver will get device add for new device first and then device deletion event for the original devices will arrive later at DMD timer expires. In this case also driver need to delete duplicate port before adding port for new device. Added new function which will make sure when new port is added, that its not claiming the same phy resources already in use by another port. If it does, then it will delete the other port before adding the new port. Signed-off-by: Kashyap Desai <kashyap.desai@lsi.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>
