Hi Asutosh,

The `host_tagset` flag has been introduced by John and Hannes some time 
ago. See also commit bdb01301f3ea ("scsi: Add host and host template 
flag 'host_tagset'"). This flag supports sharing tags across hardware 
queues and could be used to support UFSHCI 4.0 controllers that do not 
support the EXT_IID feature.

In order not to complicate the implementation further, I propose to fall 
back to the UFSHCI 3.0 compatibility mode for UFSHCI 4.0 controllers 
that do not support the EXT_IID feature.

To answer John's question: the maximum number of outstanding commands is 
16 * hba->nutrs if EXT_IID is supported (EXT_IID is a four bits field). 
If the hardware queue index is encoded in the EXT_IID field, hba->nutrs 
is the number of commands per hardware queue.

Thanks,

Bart.
