The queue size can not be more than the initial size, which is the
number of elements in the rings (e.g. 128). At runtime, the driver
calls again mhi_get_free_desc_count() in DL callback to determine the
current number available slots (e.g. 32). If this value is higher than
a certain limit (e.g 128 /2), then we start refilling the MHI RX queue
with fresh buffers to prevent buffer starvation.
