Please document the firmware version (and controller) you tested with in 
the commit message.

Shortly describing the implementation (new struct member ignore_device) 
would be nice.

Why not type bool?

Off topic, with `u8 target_lun_valid : 1`, why is `true` used.

If the LUN should be ignored, is it actually valid? Why not extend 
target_lun_valid and add a third option (enums?) to ignore it?

Why also check for TYPE_TAPE? The function name should be updated then?

I’d add a `return -ENXIO` here, and remove the variable.

Kind regards,
