There has been some confusion regarding how to add new quirks to the SCSI
layer, when quirks are needed, and who is responsible. I will be taking
ownership of quirk maintenance to help clarify and expedite things. The
goal is to interoperate with as much hardware as possible while keeping
the table attributed and in well-maintained order.
Here are a few guidelines:
1. All quirks submissions must go through GNATS PR db. This is to
facilitate tracking and archival of discussion.
2. A quirk is only needed if the device hangs or refuses to operate
without it.
3. Please follow the quirk submission guidelines to help things proceed
quickly:

4. Please do not commit quirks directly.
5. GNATS maintainers should assign quirk-related PRs to njl@
In return, I will be responsive and help get your devices working. Please
let me know if there are any questions.
Thanks,
Nate
