Toshiba USB disk stopped working in 3.10.3

My Toshiba 1TB Stor.e basics does not work anymore since 3.10.3. I have another USB3 disk which works fine. The kernel keeps writing this stuff in the logs:

and /lib/udev/ata_id stays blocked in D state.

The change that causes the problem (below) looks fine, so I'm not sure reverting it is the right fix.
