Yes. It's because I am the maintainer of this driver.

This device is very well known to me. It caused trouble to more people than
to you. That's a Yamaha bug: It needs too much time to recover from a SCSI
bus reset.

Me neither. Almost certainly some Yamaha firmware misfunction.

Then you used the AM53C974 driver. Well it's buggy, if you allow
disconnection, so I'd prefer not to use it. Unfortunately, it's also
unmaintained.

It's the same driver in those kernel, so the behaviour must be the same.
Here's the band aid:
Become root and type
echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 5 0" >/proc/scsi/scsi
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Your CD-R will be detected.
Please read the web page

for more information.
Hope this helps.
