Thanks for pointing these additional checks out!  I've added these.

I've just added checks for 0 in region length, length and block size.

I don't think we need to handle this in any special way.  Any of these
checks will fail the device probe.  From my interpretation of the spec
reading these values as 0 would indicate an invalid device configuration.

That said I think the spec is a bit vague here.  On the one hand the
number of DC regions should reflect the number of valid regions.

Table 8-125 'Number of Available Regions':
	"This is the number of valid region configurations returned in
	this payload."

But it also says:
	"Each region may be unconfigured or configured with a different
	block size and capacity."

I don't believe that a 0 in the Region Decode Length, Region Length, or
Region Block Size is going to happen with the code structured the way it
is.  I believe these values are used if the host specifically requests the
configuration of a region not indicated by 'Number of Available Regions'
through the Starting Region Index in Table 8-163.  This code does not do
that.

Would you agree with this?

Thanks again,
