From 7620c687429553d469afb699565054748d74b81f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namjae Jeon Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2012 23:05:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] scsi: set to WCE if usb cache quirk is present. Make use of USB quirk method to identify such HDD while reading the cache status in sd_probe(). If cache quirk is present for the HDD, lets assume that cache is enabled and make WCE bit equal to 1.
