So I'm not really an expert and don't really have the context, but you
CCed me and so I took a quick glance.

Something smells a little fishy. ${SUBJECT} talks about disabling
"write zeros". The patch description talks about disabling "Write
Zeroes". The patch you reference seems to disable "write zeros" by
setting the quirk NVME_QUIRK_DISABLE_WRITE_ZEROES. ...but the contents
of your patch doesn't seem to match. Instead it adds the quirk
NVME_QUIRK_NO_DEEPEST_PS.

As I said, I'm not an expert and maybe everyone will tell me that it
all makes sense, but it seems weird.
