[PATCH v2] scsi: Export SCSI Inquiry data to sysfs

[Johannes Thumshirn]

Export the RAW SCSI Inquiry to sysfs as binfile. This way the data can be used
by userland without the need to have and ioctl or use the sg_inq tool.

Here is an example of the provided data

linux:~ # hexdump /sys/class/scsi_device/1\:0\:0\:0/device/inquiry
0000000 8005 3205 001f 0000 4551 554d 2020 2020
0000010 4551 554d 4420 4456 522d 4d4f 2020 2020
0000020 2e32 2e33
0000024

I really would like to see them included, as with this we can move
the udev rules over to not issuing any SG_IO commands during event
processing. This helps a lot for multipath failover scenarios.

Cheers,

Hannes
