There is no 32-bit architecture compatible with this driver. This will run only
on AArch64, and it's very unlikely to see a 32-bits kernel running on MT8195.
This can be eventually fixed with a later series, but shall not block the proposed
fixes from being picked, both because it's unlikely to happen, and because those
are pre-existing issues.
Besides, the series *is* actually fixing some other overflow issues and was already
tested good.
