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-next 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.)

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.
