The ib_create_named_qp() is kernel verb that is not used for user
supplied attributes. In such case, it is ULP responsibility to provide
valid QP attributes.

In-kernel API shouldn't check it, exactly like other functions that
don't check device capabilities.
Hmm.  These still looks like useful debugging checks.
All in-tree ULPs already set properly based on device capabilities.

Thanks
