1、phyup ->form port -> eh -> ata reset -> found hw port change -> 
deform port -> let dev gone -> refound

2、controller reset -> phyup -> finish controller reset -> found hw port 
change -> deform port -> let dev gone -> refound

I also thought about the plan you mentioned in the early days. The above 
will make the process more complicated and retriggering phyup may result 
in a new round of port id changes. Lose and find the disk will cause the 
upper layer IO to report error when controller reset. It seems that it 
is better to make the upper layer unaware of the hw port id change when 
phyup in reset, like ata reset or controller reset. ^_^
