Martin:
I know you had reservations about this approach, but the fact that another
case has shown up where this patch helps means this isn’t just a one-off
problem.
I know the alternative was to have the code that reads mode pages just
automatically handle all cases where the size was returned to zero, but
I really prefer specifically listing “offending” hardware, rather than
automatically covering for it.
Please let me know if you still have reservations. If not, I could rebase
and resubmit this, if you like.
Thanks.
