From: Maher Sanalla <msanalla@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 7f839965b2d77e1926ad08b23c51d60988f10a99 upstream. Currently, log_max_qp value is dependent on what FW reports as its max capability. In reality, due to a bug, some FWs report a value greater than 17, even though they don't support log_max_qp > 17. This FW issue led the driver to exhaust memory on startup. Thus, log_max_qp value is set to be no more than 17 regardless of what FW reports, as it was before the cited commit.
