I'll look into this when I can next month.

But for the initial bug this user has, can we find out what lives
inside of this directory:

/sys/devices/root/f0063e50/pci0000:02/0000:02:00.0/0000:03:09.0/0000:0a:00.0/0000:0b:01.0/host0/port-0:0/end_device-0:0/sas_device:end_device-0:0/

and if that directory doesn't exit, can they go back one directory node
at a time until something appears?
