Not really. It is calling media_not_present() directly after the call of
scsi_execute_cmd() without checking the result. media_not_present() is looking
at sshdr, which is uninitialized in case of an early error in
scsi_execute_cmd(). The same applies to read_capacity_1[06]().

scsi_test_unit_ready() and scsi_report_lun_scan() have the problem, too.

Do I need to find other examples?
