The patch breaks userspace implementations (e.g. fdutils) and introduces regressions in behaviour. Previously, it was possible to O_NDELAY open a floppy device with no media inserted or with write protected media without an error. Some userspace tools use this particular behavior for probing.
It's not the first time when we revert this patch. Previous revert is in commit f2791e7eadf4 (Revert "floppy: refactor open() flags handling").
This reverts commit 8a0c014cd20516ade9654fc13b51345ec58e7be8.

FYI, I'm just starting to act as regression tracker again and will add this to the list of tracked regressions.
Feel free to ignore the rest of this message, it's intended for the regression tracking bot I'm writing. This "regzbot" in fact is running now and this is the first regression that gets added to the database (I'm sure despite a lot of testing something will go wrong, but don't worry about it, I'll deal with it on my side).
