Right, TBH, just wanted the function to start with mhi_queue since
it's about getting info about remaining size of the DL or UL 'virtual
queue'. But AFAIU, this is the number of available ring elements that
is returned here, not the number of transfer descriptors (that can be
composed of one or more ring elements), so maybe
mhi_queue_num_free_elements or something similar, I don't want to be
picky here.
