This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: storage: don't insert sane sense for SPC3+ when bad sense to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From c5603d2fdb424849360fe7e3f8c1befc97571b8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Icenowy Zheng <icenowy@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2019 11:26:17 +0800 Subject: USB: storage: don't insert sane sense for SPC3+ when bad sense specified Currently the code will set US_FL_SANE_SENSE flag unconditionally if device claims SPC3+, however we should allow US_FL_BAD_SENSE flag to prevent this behavior, because SMI SM3350 UFS-USB bridge controller, which claims SPC4, will show strange behavior with 96-byte sense (put the chip into a wrong state that cannot read/write anything). Check the presence of US_FL_BAD_SENSE when assuming US_FL_SANE_SENSE on SPC4+ devices.
