Alan Stern has raised a related issue before. My take on this is 
outlined below.

I personally think that it is not appropriate to modify it directly
to 192. After all, it is called by the user through ioctl, and the
kernel itself will not construct such a data frame. As shown in the
following code:

sd_read_write_protect_flag(struct scsi_disk *sdkp, unsigned char *buffer)
      {
             int res;
             struct scsi_device *sdp = sdkp->device;
             struct scsi_mode_data data;
             int old_wp = sdkp->write_prot;

             set_disk_ro(sdkp->disk, 0);
             if (sdp->skip_ms_page_3f) {
sd_first_printk(KERN_NOTICE, sdkp, "Assuming Write Enabled\n");
                     return;
             }

             if (sdp->use_192_bytes_for_3f) {
res = sd_do_mode_sense(sdp, 0, 0x3F, buffer, 192, &data, NULL);
