Subject: [PATCH 2.6.18-rc3, 2.6.17.7] ieee1394: sbp2: enable auto spin-up for
 Maxtor disks

At least Maxtor OneTouch III require a "start stop unit" command after
auto spin-down before the next access can proceed.  This patch activates
the responsible code in scsi_mod for all Maxtor SBP-2 disks.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=183011

Maybe that should be done for all SBP-2 disks, but better be cautious.

This patch is also available from the ieee1394 git tree:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/bcollins/linux1394-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=31a379e1067834868b8f1ce3e409392c42dc0f2b

Fixes loss of connection if an external Maxtor disk automatically went
into power saving mode.
