Please explain further - sdformat->format.field is the field passed _in_
from userspace, and from what I can see, userspace is free to pass in
any value through the ioctl as check_format() does nothing to validate
that the various format.* fields are sane.

This patch is detecting that the user is requesting FIELD_ANY, and
fixing it up.  Surely that's the right thing to do, and is way more
preferable than just accepting the FIELD_ANY from userspace and
storing that value?
