Add a function scsi_vpd_lun_id() to return a unique device identifcation based on the designation descriptors of VPD page 0x83. As devices might implement several descriptors the order of preference is: - NAA IEE Registered Extended - EUI-64 based 16-byte - EUI-64 based 12-byte - NAA IEEE Registered - NAA IEEE Extended A SCSI name string descriptor is preferred to all of them if the identification is longer than 16 bytes. The returned unique device identification will be formatted as a SCSI Name string to avoid clashes between different designator types. [mkp: Fixed up kernel doc comment from Johannes] Signed-off-by:
