From: Fiona Ebner <f.eb...@proxmox.com> Commit 3089637461 ("scsi: Don't ignore most usb-storage properties") removed the call to object_property_set_int() and thus the 'set' method for the bootindex property was also not called anymore. Here that method is device_set_bootindex() (as configured by scsi_dev_instance_init() -> device_add_bootindex_property()) which as a side effect registers the device via add_boot_device_path().
As reported by a downstream user [0], the bootindex property did not have the desired effect anymore for legacy drives. Fix the regression by explicitly calling the add_boot_device_path() function after checking that the bootindex is not yet used (to avoid add_boot_device_path() calling exit()).
