Yes. So what is the problem with using the scsi_proto.h defined ZBC_ZONE_*
macros ? We are deep in scsi territory with this code, so using an UAPI defined
macro is weird.

I am not nacking anything. I am giving my opinion, which is that I find this
code change useless.

If you are worried that sd_zbc_parse_report() does not fill the values as
defined for struct blk_zone, then add something like:

static_assert(BLK_ZONE_COND_FULL == ZBC_ZONE_COND_FULL);
static_assert(BLK_ZONE_TYPE_CONVENTIONAL == ZBC_ZONE_TYPE_CONV);

at the beginning of that function.

blk_dev_revalidate_zones() will check everything is valid anyway.
