We still need to confirm, but it seems like MDTS for write-zeroes is
reported wrong in the FW that Dmitry is using. We can at least reproduce
it.

Would it be a possibility to add quirk infrastructure to hardcode MDTS
for FW versions prior TP4040?

Another possibility is to add quirks to the TP4040 support patches to
enable this - it might also help reduce the list of models currently
blacklisted for write-zeroes.
