If the patch isn't super urgent, I'd prefere the sizeof() arguments being
aligned, i.e. either sizeof(*descs) _or_ sizeof(*dev->host_mem_descs) but not
both. It's rather confusing for the reader. Maybe just cache the max_entries *
sizeof(*dev->host_mem_descs) value?

Other than that it looks good to me,
