This seems to both set the periphal type to ZBC and set the
HAW_ZBC bit, which is invalid for the version of ZBC spec I've seen.
D'oh. You are correct, one should read the doc properly.
Doesn't ZAC also destinguish between host aware and host managed device
like ZBC does?
Not as such. The spec I have only differentiates between CMR
(conventional media recording) and SMR (shingled media recording)
zones. And every SMR zone is a sequential write required zone.
So the host aware device type with sequential write preferred zones
is not supported.
I'll be sending an updated patch with the correct bits set.
