USB is only the transport. It doesn't add or remove functionality (the only exception being probing for LUNs on CBI devices). If you want to determine the geometry you will have to do this through SCSI commands. I was hoping that the CAM code would be smart enough to request the details from the drive itself, but perhaps there is a good reason for asking the controller for this.
It did work without, so it hasn't been implemented yet. Feel free to suggest a SCSI command together with the logic. What is the GET_GEOMETRY used for anyway?
