usb_storage.quirks: string doesn't fit in 127 chars.

Hi, I am trying to disable UAS mode on attached USB HDs (I have quite a good amount of those) to avoid quite common issues.

However, it seems that the usb_storage.quirks string is limited to 127 chars!

dmesg shows: usb_storage.quirks: string doesn't fit in 127 chars

I do not really see the point of limiting the string length to 127 chars..a bit more would be appreciated.

Thanks

From my understanding (I am not an expert) the issue seems to be in linux kernel.

 /drivers/usb/core/quirks.c specifies

static char quirks_param[128];

It seems that the length of the string is fixed. It looks quite too short to accommodate the parameters of few HD drives (I have actually approx 10+ of those attached)

I have no idea on how to fix it.
