DeviceKit-disks backend does not show a device unless it has a formatted vfat partition

[Evan]

Binary package hint: usb-creator

A device such as the SD card listed here (http://paste.ubuntu.com/260821/) will not show up in the DeviceKit-disks backend because it currently checks for vfat formatted partitions.
