USB: usb-storage: unusual_devs update for Super TOP SATA bridge
commit 18e03310b5caa6d11c1a8c61b982c37047693fba upstream.
The current entry in unusual_cypress.h for the Super TOP SATA bridge devices
seems to be causing corruption on newer revisions of this device. This has
been reported in Arch Linux and Fedora. The original patch was tested on
devices with bcdDevice of 1.60, whereas the newer devices report bcdDevice
as 2.20. Limit the UNUSUAL_DEV entry to devices less than 2.20.

This patch is also available in the upstream 3.0.67 kernel as commit
cfb2ddcace95399e4dcefebb62e16cd93c9d4ae7 which should soon make it's way
into Oneiric. It will hopefully also end up in the upstream 3.2.x
kernel series soon so that it will make it's way into Precise.
The 3.5.x upstream kernel series is EOL (end of life), maybe Canonical
can backport it to Quantal?
