[PATCH] memory: brcmstb_dpfe: validate firmware section sizes

__verify_firmware() reads a firmware header and sums declared
data and instruction section sizes with a trailing checksum.
Require the image to contain the header and checksum, and check each
declared section against the remaining firmware size before computing the
final total.
