Subject: [PATCH] dc395x: Decrease iteration for tag_number of max_command
 in start_scsi()

The tag_number reaches dcb->max_command + 1 after the loop, but when
the tag_number equals dcb->max_command an error message is already
issued. The last iteration therefore appears obsolete.

Or maybe we should allow a tag_number of dcb->max_command?
