While determining the SAS address of a drive, the driver checks whether the
handle number is less than the HBA phy count or not. If the handle number
is less than the HBA phy count then driver assumes that this handle belongs
to HBA and hence it assigns the HBA SAS address.
During IOC firmware downgrade operation, if the number of HBA phys is
reduced and the OS drive's device handle drops below the phy count while
determining the drive's SAS address, the driver ends up using the HBA's SAS
address. This leads to a mismatch of drive's SAS address and hence the
driver unregisters the OS drive and the system goes into read-only mode.
Update the IOC's num_phys to the HBA phy count provided by actual loaded
firmware.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
