Yes, absolutely. zone_idx is not an absolute zone number. It is the index of the
reported zone descriptor in the current report range requested by the user,
which is not necessarily for the entire drive (i.e., provided nr zones is less
than the total number of zones of the disk and/or start sector is > 0). So
zone_idx indicates the actual number of zones reported, it is not the total
number of zones of the drive.
