This code seems the same between many libsas LLDDs - could we factor it out into libsas? If so, then maybe those new helpers could be put in sas_internal.h

For the part of putting helpers in sas_internal.h, this needs to make the helpers exported.

Please explain why.

I would assume that if those helpers were only used in libsas code (and not LLDDs) then they could be put in sas_internal.h and no need for export

I think it's not worth to do this because they are very small. I'd still like to make them inline functions in libsas.h such as:

+       }

+       return ex_dev->num_phys;

I will note that this code does not use your new helpers

 struct sas_domain_function_template {
        /* The class calls these to notify the LLDD of an event. */
        void (*lldd_port_formed)(struct asd_sas_phy *);



And the LLDDs change like:

So I wonder if you have any reasons to insist exporting the helper
