    [SCSI] qla1280: Fix queue depth problem · af5741c6

    The qla1280 driver was ANDing the output value of mailbox register
    0 with (1 << target-number) to determine whether to enable queueing
    on the target in question.
    
    But mailbox register 0 has the status code for the mailbox command
    (in this case, Set Target Parameters).  Potential values are:
    /*
     * ISP mailbox command complete status codes
     */
    
    So clearly that is in error.  I can't think what the author of that
    line was looking for in a mailbox register, so I just eliminated the
    AND.  flag is used later in the function, and I think that the later
    usage was also wrong, though it was used to set values that aren't
    used.  Oh well, an overhaul of this driver is not what I want to do
    now -- just a bugfix.
    
    After the fix, I found that my disks were getting a queue depth of
    255, which is far too many.  Most SCSI disks are limited to 32 or
    64.  In any case, there's no point, queueing up a bunch of commands
    to the adapter that will just result in queue full or starve other
    targets from being issued commands due to running out of internal
    memory.  So I dropped default queue depth to 32 (from which 1 is
    subtracted elsewhere, giving net of 31).
    
    I tested with a Seagate ST336753LC, and results look good, so
    I'm satisfied with this patch.
