[PATCH] ARM: dma-mapping: Use %zu for printing a size_t variable

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@nxp.com>

According to Documentation/printk-formats.txt when printing
a size_t variable we should use %zu or %zx format specifiers.

As we are printing a memory size value, we should better use %zu
in this case.

size_t should be formated as %zu or %zx so %zx is fine here.

We are printing memory size here, so we should better print it in
decimal instead of hex.

For example: let's suppose we want to print that 256kiB allocation failed.

If we use %zu:
DMA: failed to allocate 256KiB pool for atomic coherent allocation

If we use %zx:
DMA: failed to allocate 100KiB pool for atomic coherent allocation

,which is not really what we want.

Fair enough, didn't realize that.

However, when it prints:

DMA: failed to allocate 100 KiB pool for atomic coherent allocation

how are you going to interpret it if you don't know the format string?

This change is exactly the right thing to do here.
