Sorry my bad, I got confused. I was not able to reproduce the write overflow
warning even if I revert the patch in the -next. I was seeing this warning,
just got confused. Thanks for the details. I have pushed this patch partially
as discussed since other warning is already addressed.

Subject: [PATCH] firmware: arm_ffa: Avoid string-fortify warning caused by
memcpy()

Copying from a 144 byte structure arm_smccc_1_2_regs at an offset of 32
into an 112 byte struct ffa_send_direct_data2 causes a compile-time warning:

| In file included from drivers/firmware/arm_ffa/driver.c:25:
| In function 'fortify_memcpy_chk',
| inlined from 'ffa_msg_send_direct_req2' at drivers/firmware/arm_ffa/driver.c:504:3:
| include/linux/fortify-string.h:580:4: warning: call to '__read_overflow2_field'
| declared with 'warning' attribute: detected read beyond size of field
| (2nd parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
| __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);

Fix it by not passing a plain buffer to memcpy() to avoid the overflow
warning.
