to use the 8020i protocol (which is normally meant for ATAPI devices like CD drives), and because of its large size, the disk drive requires the use of 16-byte commands. However the usb_stor_pad12_command() routine in usb-storage always sets the command length to 12, making the drive impossible to use. Since the SFF-8020i specification allows for 16-byte commands in future extensions, we may as well accept them. This patch (as1490) changes usb_stor_pad12_command() to leave commands larger than 12 bytes alone rather than truncating them.
