Subject: [PATCH 4.14 106/121] dmaengine: imx-dma: fix warning comparison of distinct pointer types

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

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

[ Upstream commit 9227ab5643cb8350449502dd9e3168a873ab0e3b ]

The warning got introduced by commit 930507c18304 ("arm64: add basic
Kconfig symbols for i.MX8"). Since it got enabled for arm64. The warning
haven't been seen before since size_t was 'unsigned int' when built on
arm32.

../drivers/dma/imx-dma.c: In function ‘imxdma_sg_next’:
../include/linux/kernel.h:846:29: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
   (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
                             ^~
../include/linux/kernel.h:860:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘__typecheck’
   (__typecheck(x, y) && __no_side_effects(x, y))
    ^~~~~~~~~~~
../include/linux/kernel.h:870:24: note: in expansion of macro ‘__safe_cmp’
  __builtin_choose_expr(__safe_cmp(x, y), \
                        ^~~~~~~~~~
../include/linux/kernel.h:879:19: note: in expansion of macro ‘__careful_cmp’
 #define min(x, y) __careful_cmp(x, y, <)
                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
../drivers/dma/imx-dma.c:288:8: note: in expansion of macro ‘min’
  now = min(d->len, sg_dma_len(sg));
        ^~~

Rework so that we use min_t and pass in the size_t that returns the
minimum of two values, using the specified type.
