Sure, we can. But since HA drives are backward compatible, not sure the HA check
for non-zoned make sense. As long as the zoned flag is not set, the drive can be
used like a regular disk. If the user really want to use it as a zoned drive,
then it can format with force selecting the zoned flag in btrfs super. Then the
HA drive will be used as a zoned disk, exactly like HM disks.

It is very unlikely that we will see any other zone model. ZNS adopted the HM
model in purpose, to avoid multiplying the possible models, making the ecosystem
effort a nightmare.

Works for me. May be reverse the conditions to make things easier to read and
understand:

bool btrfs_check_device_type()
{
	if (btrfs_is_zoned()) {
		if (bdev_is_zoned()) {
			/* also check the zone_size. */
			return true;
		}

		/*
		 * Regular device: emulate zones with zone size equal
		 * to device extent size.
		 */
		return true;
	}

	if (bdev_zoned_model == BLK_ZONED_HM) {
		/* Zoned HM device require zoned btrfs */
		return false;
	}

	/* Regular device or zoned HA device used as a regular device */
	return true;
}
