Fake SAS addresses for SATA disks on HiSilicon D05 are non-unique

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

I don't have the configuration to demonstrate the problem - but I have verified that on an alternate configuration, the output of 'cat /sys/class/sas_phy/*/sas_address' is the same before and after the patch, demonstrating a lack of regression.
