[PATCH] scsi: mpi3mr: Handle SAS port and rphy allocation failures

From: Triet Hoang

Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 01:26:37 EST


Check the return value of sas_port_alloc_num() and handle failures
before attempting to add the port.

Free the SAS port if sas_port_add() fails. Also handle failures from
sas_end_device_alloc() and sas_expander_alloc() by removing the PHYs
from the port, deleting the SAS port, and returning failure.

This prevents NULL pointer dereferences and ensures resources allocated
during SAS port creation are properly cleaned up on error paths.
