[PATCH 1/2] firmware: arm_ffa: Honor maximum RX/TX buffer size

FFA_FEATURES in v1.2+ supports a maximum RXTX_MAP size. This maximum
size is not checked when page-aligning the RX/TX buffer size, and
FFA_RXTX_MAP may fail when passed a size greater than the maximum.

Decode the maximum buffer size returned from FFA_FEATURES and limit the
buffer size based on this value if it is non-zero (zero indicates no
maximum). Include verification that the max returned by the SPMC is
larger than the minimum, otherwise use the minimum.

While there, also update RXTX_MAP_MIN_BUFSZ() to use FIELD_GET() for
consistency.

Fixes: 83210251fd70 ("firmware: arm_ffa: Use the correct buffer size during RXTX_MAP")
