OK, so the issue is that __ata_scsi_find_dev() calls ata_find_dev() with devno
== scsidev->id. This leads to devno being 0, 1, 2 and 3 for connected drives

This numbering comes from sas_rphy_add():
...
if (identify->device_type == SAS_END_DEVICE &&
(identify->target_port_protocols &
(SAS_PROTOCOL_SSP | SAS_PROTOCOL_STP | SAS_PROTOCOL_SATA)))
rphy->scsi_target_id = sas_host->next_target_id++;

..

scsi_scan_target(&rphy->dev, 0, rphy->scsi_target_id, lun,
SCSI_SCAN_INITIAL);
}

So libata and scsi_transport_sas just use different sdev id numbering schemes for host scan.

sdd, sd1, sdf and sdg, as shown by lsscsi. However, each drive has its own
port+link, with the link for each one having  ata_link_max_devices() == 1, so
ata_find_dev() works only for the first drive with scsidev->id == 0 and fails
for the others. A naive fix would be this:

diff --git a/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c b/drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c
index 7bb12deab70c..e4d6f17d7ccc 100644

Would this pattern work:

ata_for_each_dev(ata_dev, link, ALL) {
if (ata_dev->sdev == sdev)
return ata_dev;
}

If not, I think it's ok to have devno = 0 assignment under SAS_HOST flag, even though it's far from ideal. Not both of these are not preferred, then, as I mentioned before, some per-port callback to do the conversion.

Thanks,
