What if there are multiple targets for a device with different 
discard_granularity - we would overwrite the settings made by another 
target.

Should there be:

limits->discard_granularity = max(limits->discard_granularity, chunk_size_bytes);

or perhaps:

limits->discard_granularity = lcm_not_zero(limits->discard_granularity, chunk_size_bytes);
