My patches from 2020 are not totally trivial. So even if they still are applicable and there is a sponsor who gets them reviewed, i doubt that they would easily get accepted. Richmond reports from OpenSUSE with kernel 5.3 that the handling of blank media seems to have changed. But i still see it with 5.10. If you can identify the program which gets lured into probing the drive, then you could ask its developer to ignore optical drives of which the kernel reports sector size 512. But as soon as a medium was in the drive, the deception begins again. Have a nice day :) Thomas
