Commit 198de51dbc34 ("USB: uas: Limit qdepth at the scsi-host level") made
qdepth limit set in host template (`.can_queue = MAX_CMNDS`) useless.
Instead of removing the template limit, now we only change limit according
to the qdepth reported by the device if it is smaller than MAX_CMNDS.

What's wrong with Hans's patch for this issue instead?

Nothing wrong. It's just .can_queue = MAX_CMNDS in the host template
is no longer neceesary, since with his patch, uas will set can_queue
again later (to devinfo->qdepth - 2).
Originally I thought .can_queue = MAX_CMNDS can hence be removed; but
after a second thought, I think it might probably be better if we
leave it there and make use of it, in case certain device somehow
inapproriately reports an enormous qdepth (i.e. larger than
MAX_CMNDS). (According to the commit message of 55ff8cfbc4e1 ("USB:
uas: Reduce can_queue to MAX_CMNDS"), "The uas driver can never queue
more then MAX_CMNDS...")

OK, so try this as an exercise: Why would this not be the right thing
to do after the host is prepared: It has to do with the streams
resources the driver has already created.

I don't quite get what you mean. Are you saying that it is impossible
that UAS devices would report inappropriately high qdepth, because of
this?
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/usb/storage/uas.c?h=v4.6#n908
In that case should I send another patch that simply has `.can_queue =
MAX_CMNDS` in the host template removed?

OK, you found the statement, now translate what it means to resource
allocation and it will show you why the if you proposed to add would
always be true.
