This is a regression, I will test the EVPD quirk tomorrow ...

Sorry for not making myself clear. The device has always attached via
cd(4) and worked for CD and self-burned DVD, but not retail DVD. If I
quirk it, it will attach via da(4) *instead* of cd(4), and retail DVD
magically start working.

If I use atausb(4)/acd(4) some of the retail DVDs work and if I extract
the drive from the case and attach it via atapi(4)/acd(4) everything is
working fine, too. It is only cd(4) that is not grokking retail DVDs, be
it via umass(4) or sbp(4).

I doubt your patch is intended to change the runtime behaviour of cd(4)
with respect to handling inserted media, right?

I'll give those quirks you mentioned a try, but that will only fix the
umass(4)/cd(4) issue, not the sbp(4)/cd(4) one.

Cheers,
Ulrich Spoerlein
