Bug Description

[Impact]
Several issues have been fixed upstream in the hisi_sas driver:
 - Driver may configure the wrong signal attenuation setting
 - Driver may not negotiate the correct max link rate supported by the phy
 - phy must be disabled before trying to change its link rate
 - Internal abort timeout doesn't take into account link negotiation time
 - Driver returns incorrect values to upper levels

[Test Case]
Regression testing on D05 and D06 systems, which have different versions of this controller.

[Regression Risk]
Code changes are restricted to the hisi_sas driver, and the HisSilicon D05 and D06 are the only two boards Ubuntu supports that use this driver. Explicit testing on these two boards should mitigate the regression risk.

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!
