[PATCH v3] staging: fsl-mc: use 32bits to support 64K size mc-portals

[Bharat Bhushan]

As per APIs each mc-portal is of 64K size while currently
16bits (type u16) is used to store size of mc-portal.
In these cases upper bit of portal size gets truncated.

Ok, so just to clarify this fixes the case where size is equal (or maybe 
larger in the future) to 0x10000.

Is this something that can happen today?  Is this needed in 4.14 to fix
a problem people are having and need to be backported to stable, or can
it wait until 4.15?

We can wait for 4.15 and no need to backport.
