[Bug 1336275] [NEW] Apple SuperDrive USB optical reader needs unlock

[kalvdans]

Public bug reported:

The SuperDrive USB dvd drive from Apple needs a specific initialization
sequence to get started. It can be implemented with sg3-utils and the
following udev rule:

# Initialise Apple SuperDrive
ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1500", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05ac", DRIVERS=="usb", RUN+="/usr/bin/sg_raw /dev/$kernel EA 00 00 00 00 00 01"

I'm not sure if this line should be provided by the udev package, the
sg3-utils package or a separate package. I'm initially posting the bug
on the udev package.
