Marketing boilerplate. How much of it will still be true in 6 months ?
6 years ?

Hint: stay technical. If in doubt, make it boring. :o)

How many queues exactly ?

> +- Admin completion ring

Useless documentation (implementation detail).

Nobody will maintain it when the driver changes. Please remove.

Please avoid advertising legacy ifconfig.

The documentation above simply duplicates the member names -> useless
visual payload.

Please replace space with tab before "=" to line things up.

-> No comment needed to figure the offset.
   Comment removed => no need to check if offset starts at word 0 or word 1.

No need to "... & GENMASK" given the test above.

1. Use dma_zalloc_coherent().

2. Style
	xyzab = dma_alloc_coherent(..., ..., ...                  ...,
				   ...);

3. Add local variable for &queue->sq.
