That's the usual problem I have with vendor-specific sense codes.
In general the risk is quite low of different vendors actually using the
same code; I guess we can get away with just adding a debug message here
and enable it without any vendor check.
Then we can reconsider the whole thing once we notice several vendors
using the same sense codes.
