The former is best treated by using the hardware in question as a pissuary, to make sure that its contents matches the quality of design. The latter might be more interesting - RBC devices are only required to implement MODE SENSE/SELECT page 6; they shouldn't get messed by the rest, but at least some of them blindly respond with page 6 to _every_ MODE SENSE. So that might be a good reason to blacklist. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
