I understand. But my concern is that the number of broken USB doodad
model strings far outnumber enterprise storage vendor ditto. And there
is no point in reversing the polarity if it increases the maintenance
burden.

So I would be more comfortable with just widening the VPD whitelist and
assume that everything with an EMC, Dell, NetApp, whatever vendor ID is
compliant.
