[ Upstream commit ebc4cb43ea5ada3db46c80156fca58a54b9bbca8 ]
While computing sgs in spi_map_buf(), the data type
used in min_t() for max_seg_size is 'unsigned int' where
as that of ctlr->max_dma_len is 'size_t'.
min_t(unsigned int,x,y) gives wrong results if one of x/y is
'size_t'
Consider the below examples on a 64-bit machine (ie size_t is
64-bits, and unsigned int is 32-bit).
case 1) min_t(unsigned int, 5, 0x100000001);
case 2) min_t(size_t, 5, 0x100000001);
Case 1 returns '1', where as case 2 returns '5'. As you can see
the result from case 1 is wrong.
This patch fixes the above issue by using the data type of the
parameters that are used in min_t with maximum data length.
Fixes: commit 1a4e53d2fc4f68aa ("spi: Fix invalid sgs value")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
