Subject: [PATCH 3.19 138/177] firmware: dmi_scan: Fix dmi_len type

3.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ivan Khoronzhuk <ivan.khoronzhuk@...aro.org>

commit 6d9ff473317245e3e5cd9922b4520411c2296388 upstream.

According to SMBIOSv3 specification the length of DMI table can be
up to 32bits wide. So use appropriate type to avoid overflow.

It's obvious that dmi_num theoretically can be more than u16 also,
so it's can be changed to u32 or at least it's better to use int
instead of u16, but on that moment I cannot imagine dmi structure
count more than 65535 and it can require changing type of vars that
work with it. So I didn't correct it.
