I wonder if we want to disable write same too, instead of falling back
to SD_MAX_WS10_BLOCKS for either of the WRITE SAME (10) and (16)
opcodes, when they are reported to be supported. If not, should we go
for SD_MAX_WS16_BLOCKS instead when WRITE SAME (16) is supported?

P.S. Please be noted I have been talking about cases when the Maximum
Write Same Length reported in the Block Limit VPD is 0.
