scsi_add_lun() tests the device vendor string of SCSI devices to detect if a SCSI device is in fact an ATA device, in order to correctly handle SATL power management. The function scsi_cdl_enable() also requires knowing if a SCSI device is an ATA device to control the state of the device CDL feature but this function does that by testing for the presence of the VPD page 89h (ATA INFORMATION page). sd_read_write_same() also has a similar test. Simplify these different methods by adding the is_ata field to struct scsi_device to remember that a SCSI device is in fact an ATA one based on the device vendor name test. This field can also allow low level SCSI host adapter drivers to take special actions for ATA devices (e.g. to better handle ATA NCQ errors). With this, simplify scsi_cdl_enable() and sd_read_write_same().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
