This patch was based on your reply at:

My v1 patch had only MU01 with ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM and
ATA_HORKAGE_ZERO_AFTER_TRIM. I am not very much confident on only
having ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM as we have seen huge regression due to
243918be6393 ("libata: Do not blacklist Micron M500DC"). Unless, Micron
confirms that it can only have 'ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM' I think we
should go for both. I don't think we should mark it as ZRAT supported,
(without Micron confirmation) and cause another regression.
My v1 patch is at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10287605/
Do you want me to resend it again?
