In my original rework of the sg driver (1998) it did what was being requested in this patch. Then around 10 years ago changes were added to the SCSI subsystem to strip this capability from the sg driver. Since then about 5 attempts (my guess) have been made to re-instate this capability, this being the most recent. The use case is almost always the same: specialized USB storage devices. USB is not going away. Does anyone see a change in "company" policy in this regard? If not and since I'm told black lists and the like won't work, my advice for the record is to use FreeBSD or Windows for tools that need this capability.
