dmaengine: ti: edma: Fix memory allocation size for queue_priority_map

Browse source

[ Upstream commit e63419dbf2 ]

Fix a critical memory allocation bug in edma_setup_from_hw() where
queue_priority_map was allocated with insufficient memory. The code
declared queue_priority_map as s8 (*)[2] (pointer to array of 2 s8),
but allocated memory using sizeof(s8) instead of the correct size.

This caused out-of-bounds memory writes when accessing:
  queue_priority_map[i][0] = i;
  queue_priority_map[i][1] = i;

The bug manifested as kernel crashes with "Oops - undefined instruction"
on ARM platforms (BeagleBoard-X15) during EDMA driver probe, as the
memory corruption triggered kernel hardening features on Clang.

Change the allocation to use sizeof(*queue_priority_map) which
automatically gets the correct size for the 2D array structure.
