Subject: [PATCH 4.17 128/324] nfp: cast sizeof() to int when comparing with error code

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

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

From: Chengguang Xu <cgxu519@....com>

[ Upstream commit 2d2595719a97c876f35b1e60e5768e58753b268c ]

sizeof() will return unsigned value so in the error check
negative error code will be always larger than sizeof().

Fixes: a0d8e02c35ff ("nfp: add support for reading nffw info")
