Hi Avri,

WARN*() should only be used to report kernel bugs. hba->nutrs * hba->nr_hw_queues being too large is not a kernel bug but a configuration issue.

Instead of failing MCQ allocation, shouldn't ufshcd_mcq_decide_queue_depth() be modified such that it restricts hba->nutrs to a value that can be supported?

Thanks,

Bart.
