Several dev_err, dev_dbg, pr_debug, and printk calls use %d or %u
format specifiers for size_t arguments (len, pool_size). Fix them
to use %zu to avoid warnings on 64-bit builds.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The macro PPC440SPE_ADMA_XOR_MAX_BYTE_COUNT evaluates to a negative integer, completely bypassing bounds checks on 64-bit platforms due to sign extension.
- [High] Missing dma_mapping_error checks for page mappings in ppc440spe_adma_probe.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this bounds check evaluate correctly on
64-bit platforms?
The macro PPC440SPE_ADMA_XOR_MAX_BYTE_COUNT is defined as (1 << 31), which
evaluates to a negative signed integer. When compared against a 64-bit
unsigned size_t, sign extension causes the macro to be implicitly cast to
0xffffffff80000000UL (or ~18 exabytes).
Since this patch explicitly addresses 64-bit builds by changing to %zu
format specifiers, could this pre-existing issue now allow excessively large
len values to bypass the bounds check and truncate hardware descriptor
configurations?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but similarly to
ppc440spe_chan_xor_slot_count(), does this BUG_ON() check fail to catch large
len values due to the sign-extended macro definition?

[Severity: High]
This is also a pre-existing issue, but is this another instance where the
length bounds check in BUG_ON() fails due to the sign-extended macro?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but further down in this function,
dma_map_page() is called to map chan->pdest and chan->qdest pages:
drivers/dma/ppc4xx/adma.c:ppc440spe_adma_probe() {
...
chan->pdest = dma_map_page(&ofdev->dev, chan->pdest_page, 0,
PAGE_SIZE, DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL);
chan->qdest = dma_map_page(&ofdev->dev, chan->qdest_page, 0,
PAGE_SIZE, DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL);
...
}
Are we missing a dma_mapping_error() check for these mappings?
If the mapping fails, it could return an invalid DMA address that gets written
into hardware DMA descriptors, potentially leading to IOMMU faults or memory
corruption.
