Hi Peter,

Thanks for raising this; it is a good question. And I had spent quite 
some time
on this one trying to make it as simple as possible...

Firstly, it is intended. In TX EQTR flow, the host software programs a Adapt
Length value to PA_TXADAPTLENGTH_EQTR and initiates TX EQTR procedure.
With this quirk enabled, the host software is allowed (by Host HW) to 
continue
TX EQTR even with a value which is above the spec max, so the Host software
can attempt an extended (out-of-spec) value.

Then the outcome is naturally determined by the peer device:
1. If the device tolerates the extended value, TX EQTR succeeds.
2. If the device does not, TX EQTR fails as part of normal EQTR behavior.

So the quirk is intentionally host-only.

A separate device quirk could be added, but for this path it would be 
redundant
and would increase maintenance burden (for tracking a list of such 
devices) without
changing the outcome.

I hope I have answered your question and you can understand my 
considerations.

Thanks,
Can Guo.
