A Coverity robot reported an integer handling issue (OVERFLOW_BEFORE_WIDEN) in the potentially overflowing expression:
(mtd_div_by_ws(mtd->size, mtd) - mtd_div_by_ws(offs, mtd)) * mtd_oobavail(mtd, ops)While such overflow will certainly never happen due to the numbers handled, it is cleaner to fix this operation anyway.
The problem is that all the maths include 32-bit quantities, while the result is stored in an explicit 64-bit value.
As maxooblen will just be compared with a size_t, let's change the type of the variable to a size_t. This will not fix anything but will clarify a bit the situation. Then, do an explicit cast to fix Coverity warning.

I forgot to add the link to the corresponding Travis-CI job: https://travis-ci.org/miquelraynal/u-boot/builds/456679982
Gentle ping on this series (patch 1 & 2). They do apply cleanly on current master.
Tom, shall I expect you to take it or is it Jagan's mission?
Thanks, Miquèl
