My only concern is that the peripheral device type was included
at the outset in spc3r01 in 2001, so a design that can't get this
right might have other problems.  A print might be justified
to report something is amiss:

	if (scsi_is_wlun(sdev->lun) && sdev->type != TYPE_WLUN) {
		sdev_printk(KERN_WARNING, sdev,
			"%s: correcting incorrect peripheral device type 0x%x for W-LUN 0x%16phN\n",
			__func__, sdev->type, sdev->lun);
		sdev->type = TYPE_WLUN;
	}
