All normal. This is 65535 sectors at most per trim range times 64 ranges
at most (64 range in at most 1 512B range list).
65535*512*64=2147450880

So if that is not working, then it means that DSM TRIM are not working
correctly on that device. Have you tried disabling NCQ trim ?
Use libata.force noncqtrim option.
