Well, yes, that too ... it depends how much time anyone has to spend on
this driver.

The bug report claims 2.4 works, so probably there the device itself
will still screw up if another inquiry were sent as part of the tagged
stream, I think (perhaps it doesn't, someone needs to check). However,
turning on TCQ in slave_configure() will mean that the two initial
inquiries are sent untagged, so it will only manifest in 2.6 in the same
circumstances as 2.4.
