Discard operation with protection type 0

Discard operation with protection type 0

[Paul Grabinar]

Hi,
Sorry to bother everyone again with another issue to do with end-to-end
protection. I know we all love them.
I think this one is minor.

The configuration concerns a device with 512 byte (though I think 4k
would be the same) sectors, 8 bytes of meta-data in a seperate buffer
and a protection type of zero.

Discard (TRIM) operations on such a configuration can fail.

The driver needs to ensure that a buffer with the meta-data is provided,
as it is not possible to use the PRACT bit. However, for discard
operation, I don't think we care, as the discard command does not need
meta-data.

The following patch is not necessarily the right fix, but shows what I
think the issue is.

Thanks.
