The size of the sysparam sysfs files is determined from the device tree
at boot. However the buffer is hard coded to 64 bytes. If we encounter a
parameter that is larger than 64, or miss-parse the device tree, the
buffer will overflow when reading or writing to the parameter.
Check it at discovery time, and if the parameter is too large, do not
create a sysfs entry for it.

The sysparam code currently uses the userspace supplied number of
bytes when memcpy()ing in to a local 64-byte buffer.
Limit the maximum number of bytes by the size of the buffer.

The OPAL calls are returning int64_t values, which the sysparam code
stores in an int, and the sysfs callback returns ssize_t. Make code a
easier to read by consistently using ssize_t.

When a sysparam query in OPAL returned a negative value (error code),
sysfs would spew out a decent chunk of memory; almost 64K more than
expected. This was traced to a sign/unsigned mix up in the OPAL sysparam
sysfs code at sys_param_show.
The return value of sys_param_show is a ssize_t, calculated using
return ret ? ret : attr->param_size;
Alan Modra explains:
"attr->param_size" is an unsigned int, "ret" an int, so the overall
expression has type unsigned int. Result is that ret is cast to
unsigned int before being cast to ssize_t.
Instead of using the ternary operator, set ret to the param_size if an
error is not detected. The same bug exists in the sysfs write callback;
this patch fixes it in the same way.
A note on debugging this next time: on my system gcc will warn about
this if compiled with -Wsign-compare, which is not enabled by -Wall,
only -Wextra.

OPAL defines opal_msg as a big endian struct so we have to
byte swap it on little endian builds.
