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 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?
That seems to make sense. The current mass storage class dissector just registers in the "usb.bulk" and "usb.control" dissector tables based on the interface class.
*However*, there's also a *heuristic* dissector registered in the "usb.bulk" heuristic dissector table, and *that* looks for what appears to be a signature of Bulk-Only Transport packets. If so, then the *heuristic* dissector should directly call the Bulk-Only Transport dissector. I don't know whether there's a heuristic that can recognize UASP traffic; if so, you'll have to write a separate heuristic dissector for that.
