Yes mpt3sas driver has defined scan_start() & scan_finished() callbacks function. In the scan_start() callback function driver will issue Port Enable request to the HBA Firmware to enable the HBA ports, so the driver can start receiving drives (SAS/SATA/NVMe) discovery events from firmware and add the discovered drives to the respective drive type list. (e.g. SAS & SATA drives are added sas_device_list and NVMe drives are added to pcie_device_list) . Once the driver receives the Port Enable completion reply message from firmware then in the scan_finished() callback function driver will register the SAS & SATA devices added in the sas_device_list to SCSI Transport Layer by using sas_rphy_add() API and NVMe devices added in the pcie_device_list are directly added to SML by using scsi_add_device() API with channel number set to two.
