In this scenario below, the first pheader end address is < mdt file size 
but the next pheader lies outside the mdt file size. The 
_qcom_mdt_load() would continue on to load the firmware as a single 
image which leads to load error. By checking if all the pheaders lie 
inside the file size, we will be able to fix this issue.

fw = cdsp_dtb.mdt phdr->p_filesz = 148 phdr->p_offset 0 fw->size 4044
fw = cdsp_dtb.mdt phdr->p_filesz = 512 phdr->p_offset 148 fw->size 4044
fw = cdsp_dtb.mdt phdr->p_filesz = 3896 phdr->p_offset 4096 fw->size 4044

Yes, Updating the patch to remove this unnecessary change in the

Done.
V3: only make change in the __qcom_mdt_load() and not in the 
qcom_mdt_read_metadata().
