This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb-storage: Add compatibility quirk flags for iODD 2531/2541
to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the usb-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

These drive enclosures have firmware bugs that make it impossible to mount a new virtual ISO image after Linux ejects the old one if the device is locked by Linux. Windows bypasses this problem by the fact that they do not lock the device. Add a quirk to disable device locking for these drive enclosures.
