I'm starting to write a USB Attached SCSI dissector, since Wireshark seems to 
be lacking one. It's my first time contributing to Wireshark. I'm in the very 
early phases, I have it dissecting some UASP-specific descriptors and packet 
header fields but I'm not yet handing off any SCSI stuff.

I have two questions. First, is it fine to open a merge request early on and 
keep updating it as I add functionality? Or is it preferred to wait until it's 
more complete?

Second, the hooks provided by the generic USB dissector seemingly aren't a good 
fit. Basically, it seems to use only the interface class to decide what 
sub-dissector to call, but UASP uses the mass storage class like the existing 
Bulk-Only transport dissector. So that dissector is essentially sitting in the 
way and preventing me from hooking in UASP. (Or at least I think so. Currently 
I'm just commenting it out the conflicting hooks during testing.)

I need to look at the interface protocol to determine if the traffic is UASP or 
not. I think the simplest way to do this is adding a shim dissector for mass 
storage class which invokes either the BOT or UASP dissector depending on the 
interface protocol (if known). Does that sound like a good approach?

Thanks,
Aidan
