Ok, we will rename to ret and make ulp_ddp_query_limits() return int 0
on success to be consistent with the name.

We are not sure how to proceed as this seems to conflict with what you
suggested in v12 [1] about hiding the details of checking supports in
the API. Limits just dictate some constants the nvme-layer should use
once we know it is supported.
We can rename ulp_ddp_query_limits() to ulp_ddp_check_support(). This
function checks the support of the specified offload capability and also
returns the limitations of it.
Alternatively, we can split it in 2 API functions (check_support
and query_limits).
Let us know what you prefer.
Thanks
