Not really.  The ``add LUN to second command byte'' patch is gone,
your counter-example proved that it's useless.

But: this patch will only have any effect in your system as long as
you keep the CD-ROM quirk record out that prevents multiple LUNs from
being probed.

If this patch works (i.e., i haven't done any trivial mistake), it
doesn't endanger any production-level environment.  The expected
result is that the not really existant LUNs on your Chinon drives pop
up as `uk0' through `uk12' or something like this, but no longer as
bogus `sd' devices.  `uk' devices are fairly harmless, almost the only
thing you could do with them is sending direct SCSI commands.
