[PATCH 7/8] nfit: disable userspace initiated ars during scrub

From: Dan Williams
Date: Tue Feb 23 2016 - 21:18:12 EST


While the nfit driver is issuing address range scrub commands and
reaping the results do not permit an ars_start command issued from
userspace. The scrub thread assumes that all ars completions are for
scrubs initiated by platform firmware at boot, or by the nfit driver.
