This patch is a very bad idea. If you use it, the gadget will appear to be a CD-ROM drive instead of a disk drive. The host will try to ask it to play music instead of reading/writing data! If you want to prevent a Linux host from allowing read-write mounts of a write-protected gadget, the correct way is to add the "removable=y" module parameter. For some reason (don't ask me why -- I don't know) the SCSI core doesn't check a disk device's write-protect status unless the device is marked as removable.
