Did you read justification of my change that you're reverting now?
With your change in place we'll allocate a buffer
of size = (sizeof(legacy_mbr) * dev_desc->blksz).

Is that something you really want?

I guess what you really want to do is to allocate buffer for "mbr"
dynamically of size which is max(sizeof(legacy_mbr), dev_desc->blksz).
