Current driver doesn't support this type of topology and will add only one zoned drives to the OS. So to support these types of topology we need below patch set in the driver.

So, requesting you include this patch for next upcoming Ubuntu kernel release.
Currently we have posted this patch set to upstream community and they yet to review this patch set. Meanwhile If I get the base kernel source code for next upcoming Ubuntu kernel then I can prepare the patches over this base kernel source and share it in this BZ.
Thanks,
Sreekanth
