Unless that causes an actual problem (i.e. crash, data loss), it is not
necessary to have a quirk for it.  There are two kinds of "unsupported"
commands:  those that cause the device to hang or crash and those that
successfully reject commands they don't want with the proper return value.
Quirks will only be added for the former.

Try to mount/unmount it a few times and see if there really is a problem.
