From: Xiang Chen <chenxiang66@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 465f4edaecc6c37f81349233e84d46246bcac11a upstream. If an attached disk with protection information enabled is reformatted to Type 0 the revalidation code does not clear the original protection type and subsequent accesses will keep setting RDPROTECT/WRPROTECT. Set the protection type to 0 if the disk reports PROT_EN=0 in READ CAPACITY(16).
