Jia He 4cb205c0c5 irqchip/gic-v3-its: Cap lpi_id_bits to reduce memory footprint 
Commit fe8e93504c ("irqchip/gic-v3-its: Use full range of LPIs"), removes
the cap for lpi_id_bits, which causes the following warning to trigger on a
QDF2400 server:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at mm/page_alloc.c:4066  __alloc_pages_nodemask
 ... 
 Call trace:
  __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x2d8/0x1188
  alloc_pages_current+0x8c/0xd8
  its_allocate_prop_table+0x5c/0xb8
  its_init+0x220/0x3c0
  gic_init_bases+0x250/0x380
  gic_acpi_init+0x16c/0x2a4

In its_alloc_lpi_tables(), lpi_id_bits is 24 in QDF2400. The allocation in
allocate_prop_table() tries therefore to allocate 16M (order 12 if
pagesize=4k), which triggers the warning.

As said by MarcL

 Capping lpi_id_bits at 16 (which is what we had before) is plenty,
 will save a some memory, and gives some margin before we need to push
 it up again.

Bring the upper limit of lpi_id_bits back to prevent

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
