"Discard" was added after "Trim", so while MMC_TRIM_ARGS made
sense originally, that stopped with:

commit b3bf915308ca ("mmc: core: new discard feature support at eMMC v4.5")

So this could have that as a fixes tag.

Also MMC_TRIM_ARGS is a bit of a misleading name since it covers
one of the bits of MMC_DISCARD_ARG, so I suggest a second patch to
tidy things up.

Perhaps rename it and change the value to 8003 e.g.

#define MMC_TRIM_OR_DISCARD_ARGS	0x00008003

and make a wrapper for the Trim case:

static bool is_trim_arg(unsigned int arg)
{
	return (arg & MMC_TRIM_OR_DISCARD_ARGS) && arg != MMC_DISCARD_ARG;
}
