This numbering comes from sas_rphy_add():
...
if (identify->device_type == SAS_END_DEVICE &&
     (identify->target_port_protocols &
      (SAS_PROTOCOL_SSP | SAS_PROTOCOL_STP | SAS_PROTOCOL_SATA)))
	rphy->scsi_target_id = sas_host->next_target_id++;

..

	scsi_scan_target(&rphy->dev, 0, rphy->scsi_target_id, lun,
SCSI_SCAN_INITIAL);
}

So libata and scsi_transport_sas just use different sdev id numbering 
schemes for host scan.

Would this pattern work:

ata_for_each_dev(ata_dev, link, ALL) {
	if (ata_dev->sdev == sdev)
		return ata_dev;
}

If not, I think it's ok to have devno = 0 assignment under SAS_HOST 
flag, even though it's far from ideal. Not both of these are not 
preferred, then, as I mentioned before, some per-port callback to do the 
conversion.

Thanks,
John
