Yes, but we can ignore the first "Not-ready to ready change" event
after resume.

In fact after reset, we call usb_stor_reset_resume that do a
scsi_report_bus_reset.
This will set the flag expecting_cc_ua in scsi layer and the scsi layer
will ignore the first unit attention.

But the commit dfcf7775815504d13a1d273073810058caf84b9d change the
logic and we don't ignore unit attention if "sshdr.asc == 0x28 &&
sshdr.ascq == 0x00" ("Not-ready to ready").

Thanks,

I will continue the discution on linux-scsi ML.

    [SCSI] Fix out of spec CD-ROM problem with media change
    
    Some CD-ROMs fail to report a media change correctly.  The specific
    one for this patch simply fails to respond to commands, then gives a
    UNIT ATTENTION after being reset which returns ASC/ASCQ 28/00.  This
    is out of spec behaviour, but add a check in the eat CC/UA on reset
    path to catch this case so the CD-ROM will function somewhat properly.
