So, this is the same USB3 controller I am using with success, the plot =
thickens :)

Your dmesg says it is a "ASMedia ASM1042 USB 3.0 controller"

You're reading too much into what the SCSI standard says, it wasn't =
written with human beings in mind ;)

It just means there is no point retrying because it isn't a transient =
error (I believe). This is typically caused by devices which reject =
legal SCSI commands hence HPS's suggestion to add a quirk so the SCSI =
stack doesn't try sending that command to the device.

Not sure on the rest of your stuff though, sorry.
