Perhaps call it scsi_device_is_enclosure() to better reflect the nature
of this function.

Or if it is an accessor to inquiry data to you, maybe call it
scsi_device_inquiry_encserv() or
scsi_device_inquiry_enclosure_services() or
sdev_to_inquiry_encserv() or
sdev_to_inquiry_enclosure_services().

Alas neither of this fits with the existing similar functions in
scsi_device.h which don't have expressive names.
