Hi John and Dan, what's event you found on malfunctioning PHY, if the event is 
PORTE_BROADCAST_RCVD, since
every PORTE_BROADCAST_RCVD libsas always call sas_revalidate_domain(), what 
about keeping a broadcast waiting(not queued in workqueue)
and discard others. If the event is other types, things may become knotty.
