I tried to do this. And the workflow can enter alauda_init_media(),
but there are still many conditions to satisfy in alauda_init_media().
Unfortunately alauda_init_media() stop and return here before
initializing uzonesize:

if (data[0] != 0x14) {
    usb_stor_dbg(us, "Media not ready after ack\n");
    return USB_STOR_TRANSPORT_ERROR;
}

The data[0] is status[0] showed before, and it was 0x0036.
I am not familiar with the status code of alauda.
How can I deal with this condition?
Is it ok to pass this condition when info->initialized == false, even
if the data[0] != 0x14?
