It would be nice, if it would be possible mounting the mp3-player without patching the Kernel, so i would greet it, if this or an other solution woulg com into the Kernel.

Well, but the question is who gets to fix this?

Since this is a USB device returning broken inquiry data which sd then
acts on, I'd rather see USB fix it.

I cc'd the USB people.  Since you already do some scrubbing on the
inquiry data from this thing (to fix up the ANSI SCSI type), can't you
just add it as an unusual dev that needs the RMB bit resetting (and, if
that's so far wrong, probably other vital pieces of inquiry data as
well)?
