[...] The code to convert to a whole-disk device name is really not necessary as both whole-disk and partition devices can be looked up under /sys/class/block.

We still need to discover the underlying devices of the bcache device, don't we? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Larkinson's Law: All laws are basically false.
