No, this section of code is needed for more than printing the lun value.
Here is a snip from that patch you may of missed:

- if ((mf->TargetID != ((u8)vdevice->vtarget->target_id)) || (mf->LUN[1]
!= ((u8) vdevice->lun)))
+if ((mf->Bus != vdevice->vtarget->channel) ||
+    (mf->TargetID != vdevice->vtarget->id) ||
+    (lun != vdevice->lun))

We need to convert the SAM3 LUN format, back to the scsi-mid layer
version of the lun
value, which currently is defined as an integer in linux.    We save
that scsi midlayer verison
of lun, inside vdevice->lun at the start of day.  The mf->LUN  field
will be in SAM3 LUN format.
This sanity if/then check is required as we are trying to complete
outstanding request 
for a given scsi_device, eg. lun.

Do you want me to create my own function for converting the lun value,
or can I use
this one already defined in the linux kernel?
