The translation of SECURITY IN/OUT commands should go into usb uas.c, at the
very least. And even having it there is not great in my opinion. If the adapter
does not support Opal, don't use that feature, or use it only to lock/unlock the
drive from user space with passthrough.

Note that nowhere in your patch do you test if you are talking to an ATA device.
This can be done by testing for the existence of VPD page 89h. See
scsi_cdl_enable() in drivers/scsi/scsi.c for an example where we had to check
for that. But also note that we do not issue ATA commands based on that test. We
keep issuing SCSI commands and libata takes care of the translation. uas does
not use libata though, so if translation is needed, do it there.

But I have the same opinion as Christoph: working around USB adapters lack of
support for a feature with passthrough commands issued from the kernel is really
not ideal.
