isci: filter broadcast change notifications during SMP phy resets
When resetting a sata device in the domain we have seen occasions where
libsas prematurely marks a device gone in the time it takes for the
device to re-establish the link. This plays badly with software raid
arrays. Other libsas drivers have non-uniform delays in their reset
handlers to try to cover this condition, but not sufficient to close the
hole. Given that a sata device can take many seconds to recover we
filter bcns and poll for the device reattach state before notifying
libsas that the port needs the domain to be rediscovered. Once this has
been proven out at the lldd level we can think about uplevelling this
feature to a common implementation in libsas.
