Then I don't understand why we have to answer the INQUIRY at all.
This could as well be a disconnected / turned off external scsi
device. I often turn off my external scsi scanner while the system
is running, without a problem up to now. The scanner surely doesn't
answer to INQUIRYs when it's turned off...
By the way - a device not needing the US_FL_FIX_INQUIRY code wouldn't
answer to INQUIRYs either, when it's disconnected. So the patch I sent
first gives the same behaviour for devices with and without
US_FL_FIX_INQUIRY set.
