Actually you can switch on logging of commands and status (though not of 
data) at runtime by something like
# echo $BITMASK > /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/scsi_logging_level
or
# echo $BITMASK > /proc/sys/dev/scsi/logging_level
provided that the kernel's SCSI core was compiled with 
CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING=y.

Bitmask values can be constructed as in 
linux/drivers/scsi/scsi_logging.h.  Long ago I made a note that 9216 as 
bitmask was useful for my purposes, but don't ask me what that means.

For data logging, you have to modify the SCSI low-level driver or SCSI 
core indeed.

However, all this applies only if the firmware updater actually runs on 
a Linux initiator, not e.g. on an MS Windows initiator.  In the latter 
case, you need a debug driver which hooks into Windows' SCSI stack, or 
some sort of bus analyzer.
