I validated changes on latest and few older series controllers.
Post changes, I noticed max_segment_size is updated.
find /sys/ -name max_segment_size  |grep sdb |xargs grep -r .
/sys/devices/pci0000:3a/0000:3a:00.0/0000:3b:00.0/0000:3c:04.0/0000:40:00.0/0000:41:00.0/0000:42:00.0/host0/target0:2:12/0:2:12:0/block/sdb/queue/max_segment_size:4294967295

I verify that single SGE having 1MB transfer length is working fine.
