      "message": "[SCSI] modalias for scsi devices\n\nThe following patch adds support for sysfs/uevent modalias\nattribute for scsi devices (like disks, tapes, cdroms etc),\nbased on whatever current sd.c, sr.c, st.c and osst.c drivers\nsupports.\n\nThe modalias format is like this:\n\n scsi:type-0x04\n\n(for TYPE_WORM, handled by sr.c now).\n\nSeveral comments.\n\no This hexadecimal type value is because all TYPE_XXX constants\n  in include/scsi/scsi.h are given in hex, but __stringify() will\n  not convert them to decimal (so it will NOT be scsi:type-4).\n  Since it does not really matter in which format it is, while\n  both modalias in module and modalias attribute match each other,\n  I descided to go for that 0x%02x format (and added a comment in\n  include/scsi/scsi.h to keep them that way), instead of changing\n  them all to decimal.\n\no There was no .uevent routine for SCSI bus.  It might be a good\n  idea to add some more ueven environment variables in there.\n\no osst.c driver handles tapes too, like st.c, but only SOME tapes.\n  With this setup, hotplug scripts (or whatever is used by the\n  user) will try to load both st and osst modules for all SCSI\n  tapes found, because both modules have scsi:type-0x01 alias).\n  It is not harmful, but one extra module is no good either.\n  It is possible to solve this, by exporting more info in\n  modalias attribute, including vendor and device identification\n  strings, so that modalias becomes something like\n    scsi:type-0x12:vendor-Adaptec LTD:device-OnStream Tape Drive\n  and having that, match for all 3 attributes, not only device\n  type.  But oh well, vendor and device strings may be large,\n  and they do contain spaces and whatnot.\n  So I left them for now, awaiting for comments first.\n\nSigned-off-by: Michael Tokarev \u003cmjt@tls.msk.ru\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Bottomley \u003cJames.Bottomley@SteelEye.com\u003e\n"
