You're right, but actually we don't need to use real card capacity but 
only sector count. Patch v2 will include this.

It will only work if UMS_PART_SIZE and UMS_START_BLOCK are set 
correctly. In default case when both values are defined as 0 - function 
returns null capacity but we don't want this.

Patch v2 will include cases for default, valid and bad definitions of 
UMS_PART_SIZE and UMS_START_BLOCK. I will also remove unnecessary code 
around capacity validation from ums gadget driver.
Next patch set will be send soon.
