dann frazier (dannf) wrote : phy linkrate persists after deactivation

[Impact]
sysfs continues to expose a valid phy linkrate even after the phy has been disabled.

[Test Case]
Using hisi_sas, a libsas-based driver:
(initramfs) cd /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-0\:0\:20
(initramfs) cat negotiated_linkrate
12.0 Gbit
(initramfs) echo 0 > enable
[ 59.172411] hisi_sas_v3_hw 0000:74:02.0: phydown: phy0 phy_state=0xfe

(initramfs) cat negotiated_linkrate
12.0 Gbit

[Regression Risk]
Impact is limited to drivers built on top of libsas.
