The original patch was for some IBM ipr array that behaves stupidly and requires a START_UNIT after a reset. I suspect this was the reason the type check was in there. However, if there's a use for this outside the particular array, then it should be taken out. Note that there may be a bit of work necessary to make this function for USB: it's keyed to the standard response CC/UA/LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND REQUIRED. Since USB devices aren't necessarily standards compliant in this regard, simply setting the bit may not work.
