Well, udev uses its own `ata_id` (which issues IDENTIFY DEVICE through
ATA PASS-THROUGH) though.
Anyway I expected the reasoning you gave and I can't really argue with
you. It's just personally I still prefer a cleaner SATL implementation
(considering Linux is open source and can be deemed as some sort of
reference), so I gave it a go.
Not that SAT requires the DI VPD return only one desingator / LU name though.
