My only concern is that the peripheral device type was included
at the outset in spc3r01 in 2001, so a design that can't get this
right might have other problems.  A print might be justified
to report something is amiss:

        if (scsi_is_wlun(sdev->lun) && sdev->type != TYPE_WLUN) {
                sdev_printk(KERN_WARNING, sdev,
                        "%s: correcting incorrect peripheral device type 0x%x 
for W-LUN 0x%16phN\n",
                        __func__, sdev->type, sdev->lun);
                sdev->type = TYPE_WLUN;
        }
