[PATCH 2.6.16.27] ieee1394: sbp2: enable auto spin-up for Maxtordisks

[Stefan Richter]

At least Maxtor OneTouch III require a "start stop unit" command after
auto spin-down before the next access can proceed.  This patch activates
the responsible code in scsi_mod for all Maxtor SBP-2 disks.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=183011

Maybe that should be done for all SBP-2 disks, but better be cautious.
