I'm not 100% sure what you mean. There's only one array above. Do you
mean that port_guid could be removed ? If so, that's not the case
because the p_guids array is only allocated when alias GUIDs are being
used which is not the common case.

Yes, port_guid will also be present at index 0 of p_guids array when the
p_guids array is allocated.
