I just checked and it seems such check would be redundant. inquiry_len
is always >=5 as we have the following code:
response_len = inq_result[4] + 5;
where inq_result is unsigned char *
After that we do:
sdev->inquiry_len = min(try_inquiry_len, response_len);
As far as I can see try_inquiry_len can be lower than 36 only in case
some driver sets it manually. I don't see a '>=5' check for it but I'm
not sure it is needed.
