Subject: [PATCH] NFC: fdp: Fix signedness bug in fdp_nci_send_patch

Currently, the error handling for the call to
nci_conn_max_data_pkt_payload_size() doesn't work
because *max_size* is of type u8 (8 bits, unsigned),
which makes it impossible for it to hold a value less
than 0.

Fix this by changing the type of variable *max_size*
to s16 (16 bits, signed).

since conn_info->max_pkt_payload_len is of type u8,
so s16 is enough.
