As we can see from recent bug reports, a lot of USB mass-storage

Should we go ahead and set a flag on all these devices, telling the sd
driver to try READ CAPACITY(10) first?  That's a lot easier than adding
more and more entries to unusual_devs.h.

That certainly sound reasonable to me. Note that the 071b:3203 really
needs the US_FL_NO_READ_CAPACITY_16 flag though, as it wrongly reports
a capacity of -1 when there is no sd card in its slot, and in response
to that the kernel tries READ CAPACITY(16) and things go downhill
from there...

Hans
