Hi,

A couple of nits which weren't addressed in the first version.

Please enhance the description in the commit message as Mark suggested
previously. Something like this should work:

"""
When we share memory through FF-A and the description of the buffers
exceeds the size of the mapped buffer, the fragmentation API is used.
The fragmentation API allows specifying chunks of descriptors in
subsequent FF-A fragment calls and no upper limit has been established
for this. The entire memory region transferred is
identified by a handle which can be used to reclaim the transferred
memory. To be able to reclaim the memory, the description of the buffers
has to fit in the ffa_desc_buf.
Add a bounds check on the FF-A sharing path to prevent the memory reclaim
from failing.
