    usb-storage: enable multi-LUN scanning when needed · 823d12c9

    People sometimes create their own custom-configured kernels and forget
    to enable CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN.  This causes problems when they plug
    in a USB storage device (such as a card reader) with more than one
    LUN.
    
    Fortunately, we can tell fairly easily when a storage device claims to
    have more than one LUN.  When that happens, this patch asks the SCSI
    layer to probe all the LUNs automatically, regardless of the config
    setting.
    
    The patch also updates the Kconfig help text for usb-storage,
    explaining that CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN may be necessary.
