PPC's 'opal' match pattern also matches block/sed-opal.c, where it loo=

like the 'arch/powerpc' file pattern should be enough to match powerpc
opal code by itself. Remove the opal regex pattern from powerpc.

We thought of it first.

Can't you just rename your driver, Opal Storage Specification, so "oss"=

that should be pretty unique?

The library could easily be used for devices supporting the Opalite and Pyr=
ite=20
SSCs, not just the Opal SSC. With some effort, I suspect that Enterprise SS=
C
could also be supported.  So, a broader name might indeed be useful.

The full names of the specifications are:
TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Opal
TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Opalite
TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Pyrite
TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Enterprise
