Subject: [PATCH] soc: qcom: ipa: kill IPA_RX_BUFFER_ORDER

Don't assume the receive buffer size is a power-of-2 number of pages.
Instead, define the receive buffer size independently, and then
compute the page order from that size when needed.

This fixes a build problem that arises when the ARM64_PAGE_SHIFT
config option is set to have a page size greater than 4KB.  The
problem was identified by Linux Kernel Functional Testing.

The IPA code basically assumed the page size to be 4KB.  A larger page
size caused the receive buffer size to become correspondingly larger
(32KB or 128KB for ARM64_16K_PAGES and ARM64_64K_PAGES, respectively).
The receive buffer size is used to compute an "aggregation byte limit"
value that gets programmed into the hardware, and the large page sizes
caused that limit value to be too big to fit in a 5 bit field.  This
triggered a BUILD_BUG_ON() call in ipa_endpoint_validate_build().

This fix causes a lot of receive buffer memory to be wasted if
system is configured for page size greater than 4KB.  But such a
misguided configuration will now build successfully.

Dave, I *hope* this is it for IPA for this release.	-Alex
