Log: MFC r317854: When editing a mode page on a tape drive, do not clear the device specific parameter. Tape drives include write protect (WP), Buffered Mode and Speed settings in the device-specific parameter. Clearing this parameter on a mode select can have the effect of turning off write protect or buffered mode, or changing the speed setting of the tape drive. Disks report DPO/FUA support via the device specific parameter for MODE SENSE, but the bit is reserved for MODE SELECT. So we clear this for disks (and other non-tape devices) to avoid potential errors from the target device. sbin/camcontrol/modeedit.c: Clear the device-specific parameter in the mode page header if we're not operating on a tape drive.
