scsi/sr: add no_read_disc_info scsi_device flag
Some USB devices emulate a usb-mass-storage attached (scsi) cdrom device,
usually this fake cdrom contains the windows software for the device.
While working on supporting Appotech ax3003 based photoframes, which do
this I discovered that they will go of into lala land when ever they see a
READ_DISC_INFO scsi command.
Thus this patch adds a scsi_device flag (which can then be set by the
usb-storage driver through an unsual-devs entry), to indicate this, and
makes the sr driver honor this flag.
I know this sucks, but as discussed on linux-scsi list there is no other
way to make this device work properly.
Looking at usb traces made under windows, windows never sends a
READ_DISC_INFO during normal interactions with a usb cdrom device. So as
this cdrom emulation thingie becomes more common we might see more of this
problem.
