Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/7] net: ipa: relax pool entry size requirement

I no longer know why a validation check ensured the size of an entry
passed to gsi_trans_pool_init() was restricted to be a multiple of 8.
For 32-bit builds, this condition doesn't always hold, and for DMA
pools, the size is rounded up to a power of 2 anyway.

Remove this restriction.
