No, the junk information is still present.

And I have to rescind this Acked-by.

The junk information is the "0x1234, 0x1234" values.  And if you try
removing it from the patch, you'll find that the patch doesn't work.

Fortunately you can get the same effect by setting a module parameter 
for usb-storage.  For example, in /etc/modprobe.d/brain.conf:

# Brain USB HDD doesn't work in UAS mode (tag field not set properly)
options usb_storage quirks=1234:1234:u
