The worst possible impact I see is that the Linux kernel would decide 
that RSCS is supported although the device doesn't support it. This
could cause sd_read_io_hints() to print incorrect information. The
following message could be printed when it should not be printed:
"Unexpected: RSCS has been set and the permanent stream count is %u\n"

You are asking the wrong person. I don't know how to get a CVE number.
