Subject: target: Don't allow setting WC emulation if device doesn't support
From: Andy Grover <agrover@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 07b8dae38b09bcfede7e726f172e39b5ce8390d9 upstream.
Just like for pSCSI, if the transport sets get_write_cache, then it is
not valid to enable write cache emulation for it. Return an error.
