From: Shivasharan S shivasharan.srikanteshwara@broadcom.com
commit 9ff97fa8db94caeab59a3c5401e975df468b4d8e upstream.
Problem Statement: Sending I/O through 32 bit descriptors to Ventura series of controller results in IO timeout on certain conditions.
This error only occurs on systems with high I/O activity on Ventura series controllers.
Changes in this patch will prevent driver from using 32 bit descriptor and use 64 bit Descriptors.
