Hi, Leon

         We will modify this place as below:
         In hns_roce_hw_v1.c(for hip06 soc) file:

             void hns_roce_v1_profile(struct hns_roce_dev *hr_dev)
             {
                 <snip>
                 caps->max_cmds = 32;
                 <snip>
             }

         In hns_roce_cmd.c file:

   	  int hns_roce_cmd_init(struct hns_roce_dev *hr_dev)
	  {
	     <snip>
	     hr_dev->cmd.max_cmds = hr_dev->caps->max_cmds;
      		<snip>
           }

        Can you give more suggestions?
