Hi all, This patch adds a new scsi_device flag for devices which contain a bug where the device crashes when the last sector is read in a larger then 1 sector read. This is for example the case with sdcards in the HP PSC1350 printer cardreader and in the HP PSC1610 printer cardreader. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@xxxxxx> Regards, Hans
