The culprit is

        type = IF_SCSI;
        max_devs = MAX_SCSI_DEVS;
        pstrcpy(devname, sizeof(devname), "scsi");

...

        } else if (!strcmp(buf, "scsi")) {
            type = IF_SCSI;
            max_devs = MAX_SCSI_DEVS;

Here is a patch, untested but trivial.

Subject: [PATCH] change behavior of index=N to be the same as 0.13 and earlier

Even though we support theoretically more than 7 devices per target,
the controllers we have do not and they ignore LUNs above 6.
