When the usb-storage module forces sdev->scsi_level to SCSI_2, it should
also force starget->scsi_level to the same value. Otherwise, the SCSI
layer may attempt to issue SCSI-3 commands to the device, such as REPORT
LUNS, which it cannot handle. This can prevent the device from working
with Linux.
The AMS Venus DS3 DS2316SU2S SATA-to-SATA+USB enclosure, based on the
Oxford Semiconductor OXU921S chip, requires this patch to function
correctly on Linux. The enclosure reports a SCSI-3 SPC-2 command set
level, but does not correctly handle the REPORT LUNS SCSI command -
probably due to a bug in its firmware.
It seems likely that other USB storage enclosures with similar bugs
will also benefit from this patch.
