Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dmaengine: zynqmp_dma: In struct zynqmp_dma_chan fix desc_size data type

In zynqmp_dma_alloc/free_chan_resources functions there is a
potential overflow in the below expressions.

dma_alloc_coherent(chan->dev, (2 * chan->desc_size *
ZYNQMP_DMA_NUM_DESCS),
&chan->desc_pool_p, GFP_KERNEL);

dma_free_coherent(chan->dev,(2 * ZYNQMP_DMA_DESC_SIZE(chan) *
ZYNQMP_DMA_NUM_DESCS),
chan->desc_pool_v, chan->desc_pool_p);

The arguments desc_size and ZYNQMP_DMA_NUM_DESCS were 32 bit. Though
this overflow condition is not observed but it is a potential problem
in the case of 32-bit multiplication. Hence fix it by changing the
desc_size data type to size_t.

In addition to coverity fix it also reuse ZYNQMP_DMA_DESC_SIZE macro in
dma_alloc_coherent API argument.

Addresses-Coverity: Event overflow_before_widen.
