Indeed, max_phys_sect is "uint8_t", so its maximum value is 255.

Hence this message is not correct. What's the intended maximum value?
255 or 256?

Oops, I copied the wrong warning. Obviously this was supposed to be
"drivers/lightnvm/core.c:322: warning: comparison is always false due
to limited range of data type"

Good catch. It'll be 256, the typically device driver supports 64. The 
256 is just an upper sensible bound. I'll create a patch to make it an 
unsigned short.
