Hi,

I think there can be some small cosmetic changes. I gave it a try, and
it looks overall cleaner to me. Hope you would agree.

We can drop "capped for natural alignment" -- evtq/priq don't cap.

Instead, rename to:

@ceiling: default max_n_shift ceiling of the queue
@ent_sz_shift: log2 of the queue entry size in bytes
@new_ceiling: new ceiling to override; use the default if 0

And let's call it "floor". It fits the comments and commit message.

Here, move in the natural alignment cap.

u32 arm_smmu_cmdq_max_n_shift(u32 ceiling)
{
	/* Capped to ensure natural alignment */
	ceiling = min_t(u32, CMDQ_MAX_SZ_SHIFT, ceiling);

	return arm_smmu_queue_max_n_shift(
		ceiling, CMDQ_ENT_SZ_SHIFT,
		cmdq_max_entries ? ilog2(cmdq_max_entries) : 0);
}

Then, we can just use FIELD_GET() at the two call sites:

	smmu->cmdq.q.llq.max_n_shift =
		arm_smmu_cmdq_max_n_shift(FIELD_GET(IDR1_CMDQS, reg));
