scsi_eh_try_stu() was still using the timeout parameter in the device which is now not set (i.e. zero filled) meaning that it waited no time at all for the start unit command to complete (leading the routine to conclude failure every time). This lead to a 2.6.27 regression: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12120 Where firewire devices that were non spec compliant wouldn't spin up. Fix this by using the block queue timeout value instead.
