[PATCH 3.14 14/33] SCSI: sd: dont fail if the device doesnt recognize SYNCHRONIZE CACHE

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7aae51347b21eb738dc1981df1365b57a6c5ee4e upstream.

Evidently some wacky USB-ATA bridges don't recognize the SYNCHRONIZE
CACHE command, as shown in this email thread:

	http://marc.info/?t=138978356200002&r=1&w=2

The fact that we can't tell them to drain their caches shouldn't
prevent the system from going into suspend.  Therefore sd_sync_cache()
shouldn't return an error if the device replies with an Invalid
Command ASC.
