That seems more reasonable.

I think that is a better approach than your patch. Perhaps the zd1211rw
driver could know the VID/PID of the fake CD-ROM to attach to it and send
the fake eject command. The usb-storage (and probably ub) would just have
to ignore the device.
Regardless, dealing with this device is very much outside the scope of
usb-storage. That is, unless you want to fix usb-storage so that it works
with the poor-quality CD-ROM emulation mode.
