    [PATCH] scsi: allow devices to restrict start on add · 22359323
    Eddie Williams authored
    When a SCSI disk is added and it returns a NOT READY the SD driver is 
    automatically sending a START_UNIT command to spin the device up.  While this 
    may be the desired behavior for many if not most devices not all devices 
    either want or need this.  The attached patch provides a mechanism via the 
    device_list that allows a device to be defined to disable the automatic start 
    being issued on an add.
    
    The patch also modifies the device_list for several devices that would prefer 
    to not have the start command issued.
