Just to add one more data point: The Mustek backend also uses request
sense directly (for the Paragon Pro scanners). It's issued in a loop
after the scan has finished until the scan slider has moved back.
That's the way the Windows driver does it (as far as I can see) and it
seems to work at least with the controllers I tried. If I remove the
explicit call, the scanner blocks immediately. If I remove the SCSI
driver module in this case and turn off the scanner --> kernel oops.
The only way to recover is to wait for the SCSI timeout (10 minutes)
and don't touch anything or just reboot immediately. The same happens
if I use test unit ready instead. So at the moment I don't know how to
circumvent the direct calls to request sense.
Bye,
Henning
