I get tripped up by this logic every time I look at it. I'd almost
rather see something like the following, which more closely follows the
TCG core spec and the optimizing compiler should turn it into something
similar to above anyways:

	if (pos[0] <= 0x7F)
		token_length = response_parse_tiny..
	else if (pos[0] <= 0xBF)
		token_length = response_parse_short..
	else if (pos[0] <= 0xDF)
		token_length = response_parse_medium..
	else if (pos[0] <= 0xE3)
		token_length = response_parse_long..

Then just add those 0x7F, 0xBF, 0xDF, and 0xE3 constants to proto
header. We could even add in a TCG reserved error for 0xE4-0xEF

Also instead of tracking cpos, we could subtract from total until
negative (if you make it signed). It's similar to how we do length in
nvme_setup_prps.

Since there might eventually be a whole class of opal-like sed
protocols, why does it make more sense to have opal_proto.h instead of
sed-opal.h or some variation? This is similar to how leds-*.h look to
me. Although I agree that sed-ATA.h would be dishonest since ATA
security doesn't imply a self-encrypting-disk.

I'm on board with this if you think we won't have enough different, but
similar, SED protocols to justify the indirection. In that case you can
ignore the above comment as well.
