Subject: [PATCH] lightnvm: pblk: remove unnecessary drive version check

The nvme driver checks for 1.2 and 2.0 compatibility. If an unsupported
version is reported, the device will not be initialized.

The same comment goes for this patch. pblk does support 2.0 and 1.2
today, but it is not guaranteed it will support a new revision straight
away. So I think that a check wither here or through the .capabilities I
proposed on the other patch is necessary.

Works for me. I'll send another patch that enables pblk target to tell
which version it supports.

On second thought. The idea is that pblk will not have to think about
1.2/2.0. The core will expose a general address format, etc., such that
pblk doesn't have to be complicated by that.

I am working on the various pieces and moving them to core. The patch
may have gone out a bit early. I will send this again when the 1.2/2.0
conversions have been applied.

Yes! This was the main motivation for me starting looking into moving
things down.

An issue you might hit is that some conversions are very tightly couple
with pblk (e.g., 32/64 bit L2P conversions). In the code I have on my
end, I ended up having helpers for it, but it does not feel right.

i'm happy to share some thoughts if you want...

Cool.
