We should move these scripts to a sdparm-scripts sub-pkg.

sdparm is a ~150K executable so making it pull in bash
at >1000K isn't good for embedded systems.


Neither script appears to be essential:

sas_disk_blink - blink the LED on a SAS disk

scsi_ch_swp:
      "Usage: scsi_ch_swp [-h] [-s 0|1] [-v] [-w] <blk_device>"
...
      "Access the Software Write Protect (SWP) bit in the SCSI control"
      "mode page and if changed adjust the Linux block device (e.g."
      "/dev/sdc) settings accordingly. If supported, when the SWP bit"
      "is set (1) the device is read-only; when clear (0) the device"
      "is read-write (i.e. its contents can be read and changed)."
      "When no options given it reads SWP and gets blockdev's RO flag."
