Before scsi_prep_fn() calls the ULP .init_command() callback function it stores the SCSI command pointer in request.special. This means that the SCpnt = rq->special assignments in the sd and sr drivers assign a pointer to itself. Hence convert these two assignment statements into warning statements.
