Here, all three inputs would have been "shifts", instead of two
"shifts" and one "number of entries".

And I see Sashiko keeps complaining against the ilog2 here:
"
Does this trigger a build failure due to strict type checking?
The ilog2(entries) expression returns a signed int when entries is derived
from a runtime value like the module parameter, while floor is explicitly
declared as an unsigned u32.
Since the kernel's max() macro enforces strict type compatibility, this
mismatch evaluates to 0 in the type checking logic, triggering a signedness
error during compilation.
Should this use max_t(u32, ilog2(entries), floor) instead?
"

Though Sashiko complained about the min_t() in v4 as well..

With cmdq_max_n_shift, there is no ilog2 and no type mismatch.

If you can address or justify the Sashiko finding, I am fine with
the cmdq_max_entries though..

So, in either way, the patch looks good to me,
