Subject: [PATCH] scsi: mvsas: ensure loop counter phy_no  does not wrap and cause an infinite loop

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The loop counter phy_no is a u8 where as the upper limit of the loop
is a u32. In the event that upper limit is greater than 255 we end
up with an infinite loop since phy_no will wrap around an never reach
upper loop limit. Fix this by making phy_no a u32.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Infinite loop")
Fixes: 20b09c2992fe ("[SCSI] mvsas: add support for 94xx; layout change; bug fixes")
