I think, these errors are happening because of the fragmentation. So
this patch is doing an improvement. Its hard to call it a fix for
something already added.

The following patch had added fbc_image allocation:
cd457afb1667
bus: mhi: core: Add support for downloading firmware over BHIe

The following commit had added rddm allocation:
3215d8e0691b
bus: mhi: core: Set BHI/BHIe offsets on power up preparation

Even if I want to add a fixes-by tag, it would be difficult to decide
which commit to chose. Maybe we divide the patch into 2 in these
scenarios or just select the earlier commit in Fixes tag. Please suggest
what is best way?
