In pxa3xx_gcu_write, a count parameter of
type size_t is passed to words of type int.
Then, copy_from_user may cause a heap overflow because
it is used as the third argument of copy_from_user.

I suggest to simply change the type of "words" a few lines above:
Instead of
        int words = count / 4;
use
        size_t words = count / 4;

count is already of type size_t and then you don't need to check against < 0.

Can you resend such a patch?
