The UFSHCI driver should make sure that there is always one empty queue
entry. Does "platform" in the above text refer to the SoC that includes
the UFSHCI controller?

What is totally unclear to me is why the following code depends on the
UFSHCI controller type:

+		if (ufshcd_is_mcq_expand_queue_slot(hba))
+			hwq->max_entries = hba->nutrs + 1;
+		else
+			hwq->max_entries = hba->nutrs;

Shouldn't hwq->max_entries = hba->nutrs + 1 be used for all UFSHCI 4.0
controllers?

Thanks,

Bart.
