Yes. Just replied to your previous email before seeing this one.
I think that:

static int blk_validate_zoned_limits(struct queue_limits *lim)
{
        if (!lim->zoned) {
                if (WARN_ON_ONCE(lim->max_open_zones) ||
                    WARN_ON_ONCE(lim->max_active_zones) ||
                    WARN_ON_ONCE(lim->zone_write_granularity) ||
                    WARN_ON_ONCE(lim->max_zone_append_sectors))
                        return -EINVAL;
                return 0;
        }
	...

could be changed into:

static int blk_validate_zoned_limits(struct queue_limits *lim)
{
	if (!lim->zoned) {
                lim->max_open_zones = 0;
		lim->max_active_zones = 0;
		lim->zone_write_granularity = 0;
		lim->max_zone_append_sectors = 0
		return 0;
	}

But then we would not see "bad" drivers. Could have a small

blk_clear_zoned_limits(struct queue_limits *lim)

helper too.
