I think several things are poor here.

This function shouldn't really be a static inline as it would just bloat
whatever uses it and should just be a typical function in a utility .c file.

And it doesn't seem this function is used at all so it should be deleted.

aq_to_posix should be static const.

And if it's really necessary, I think it would be simpler to read using code
without the cast and negation.

	if (aq_rc < 0 || aq_rc >= ARRAY_SIZE(aq_to_posix))
		return -ERANGE;
