I tried, but I had mistakenly enabled CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB in the
kernel, which interferes with using a USB drive as a SCSI device, even
if it is not loaded, even if deleted. When I disabled
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB it worked properly as a SCSI device.
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB is a trap that could use warning against somewhere
other than the comments in drivers/block/Kconfig.
Thanks for your attention.
