The call is:

QList<Solid::Device> devices =  
    Solid::Device::listFromType(Solid::DeviceInterface::StorageAccess);


I have a bit more for you:
For testing, I have added this call to the UI thread, before the worker thread 
starts.
From the worker thread, when the call is executed again, I then get about 8 of 
these error messages:

QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.
(Parent is Solid::Backends::Hal::HalDevice(0x83f4f88), parent's thread is 
QThread(0x82e33f8), current thread is Digikam::ScanController(0x83ddbc0)
