There are no IO commands accepting a 0 NSID, so rejecting those from the
driver should be okay.
FLUSH is the only IO command that takes a broadcast NSID. I suspect at
least some entities were unfortunately sending broadcast flush through
this interface, so it's possible we'll hear of breakage, but I'd agree
your patch is still the right thing to do.
