Ok, I played around a bit and with your patch applied, I have to
*remove* the quirk for my Samsung device, then it starts attaching
again. That's a good thing, right? :)

umass0: <Samsung YP-U2, class 0/0, rev 2.00/10.01, addr 2> on uhub3
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <Samsung YP-U2 0100> Removable Direct Access SCSI-4 device 
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 999MB (511616 2048 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 249C)

There are only two other devices right now, that require a SHUTTLE_INIT
quirk, perhaps they are broken by your patch, too. 

Btw, why are there devices in umass.c with NO_QUIRKS set? Shouldn't
those entries be removed?

Cheers,
