No check was made to ensure that parent_phy->appended_phy_id is within the
valid range. If the expander reports an invalid phy_id, it may cause the
array to be out of bounds.

We tend to assume hardware operates correctly unless there's a known
faulty device that we need to code around.  Have you got a device that
exhibits this problem?  Assuming you do, I think the fix is a little
harsh: wouldn't it be better to ignore the misnumbered phy than to
ignore the entire expander?
