Subject: USB storage quirk

Hi Matthew,

I pulled you name from the kernel maintainers file to let someone know
about a quirk that I discovered with an MP3 player that connects as
usb-storage.  Hope I've got this right.

When I connected it to my fedora 8/14/16 machine ( sorry not the
latest kernel ) it didn't work.  The following is the dmesg output:

[ 1703.287204] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
[ 1703.402018] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1e74, idProduct=4641
[ 1703.402025] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

[ 1704.514300] usb 2-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4

[ 1709.730154] usb 2-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
....

So I played around with the usb-storage parameter quirks, and found
that 1e74:4641:rw worked a treat.  Hope this is helpful.

For all the others googling for this :
Dick Smith Electronics MP3 player 8GB
DSE
A8705
add kernel command line parameter usb-storage.quirks=1e74:4641:rw

Regards,
Russell
