    I already started on removing the MLC bits in previous patches. These
    two patches continue that trend. I don't know of any implementing either
    multiple groups or MLC, and since it has not been implemented before, no
    one is going to use it. No reason to have dead code hanging around. This
    is similar to the NVMe device driver not having definitions for all that
    is in the specification until it is used in the implementation.
