Please make ufshcd_mcq_vops_get_hba_mac() return a 1-based value. The 
0-based convention is useful for bit-constrained device registers but is 
confusing when not reading from a hardware register.

According to the UFS specification bQueueDepth is zero if there is one 
queue per logical unit inside the device. Should a warning statement be 
added that reports a complaint if bQueueDepth == 0 since the above code 
does not support bQueueDepth == 0? I'm not sure whether any UFS devices 
exist that use per-LU queuing.

I think that "default is 32" should be left out since the code that 
reads the MAC register has been removed.

Additionally, please change "upto" into "up to".

Thanks,

Bart.
