So here's v3 of the patch, done (I hope) in a way that is more standard
conforming.

Subject: [PATCH] net/ipa: Use correct value for IPA_STATUS_SIZE

IPA_STATUS_SIZE was introduced in commit b8dc7d0eea5a as a replacement
for the size of the removed struct ipa_status which had size
sizeof(__le32[8]). Use this value as IPA_STATUS_SIZE.
