Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 6.12.38-1

Host system: Debian 13
Guest system: tested various operating systems, all with the same result.

The following device can be passed through to a guest, but isn't functional: 03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (rev 02)

None of the drives show up in the guest system. The device seems to hang on:
[ +0.006783] mpt3sas_cm0: sending port enable !!

Expected behavior:
All drives show up in the guest system and I should see the following output:
[ +0.006783] mpt3sas_cm0: sending port enable !!

[ +0.003790] mpt3sas_cm0: hba_port entry: 00000000b1fe5e82, port: 255 is added to hba_port list

I haven't yet tried to reproduce the issue with another device.
The issue was never present on Debian 12. Using a Debian 12 kernel on the Debian 13 system also resolves the issue, which is what led me to think it's a Linux kernel issue.

Thanks in advance,
