I still think we should keep this (as we discussed offilne). We do WARN_ON 
when the behaviour doesn't follow the spec guidelines. For this
particular case, if the result doesn't fit in the caller's buffer the TEE
is expected to return FFA_ERROR in w0 with NO_MEMORY in w2. If it
returns success but the caller doesn't have enough space to copy then
something is going horribly wrong on the TEE side.
