IMHO the revert of the troublesome commit and the other/new changes really
should be 2 separate commits. But I will let Alan and Greg have the final
verdict on this.
p.s. Why did you not send this patch-series to Alan Stern, the maintainer of
the usb-storage driver?

In the UAS driver the code setting max-hw-sectors was already moved to its
new place and another patch was added on top, so that is different.
