[PATCH] scsi:storvsc enable reading from VPD pages on SPC-2

From: Long Li
Date: Wed Dec 10 2014 - 02:29:01 EST


MSFT targets currently claim SPC-2 compliance while they implement post SPC-2 features. With this patch we can correctly handle WRITE_SAME_16 issues.

This patch fixes an issue where the flag is setup too late in drive initialization process.
