This was found by a static analyzer.
There may be a potential integer overflow issue in
efct_efclib_config(). efc->max_xfer_size is defined
as "efc->max_xfer_size" while sli->sge_supported_length
and sli_get_max_sgl(&efct->hw.sli) are all "u32".
The result of the calculation will be limited to
"u32" without correct casting.
We recommend adding an extra cast to prevent
potential integer overflow.

I think you wanted to say: as "u64" while...

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes
Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. “make xyzzy do frotz” instead
of “[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz” or “[I] changed xyzzy to do frotz”, as
if you are giving orders to the codebase to change its behaviour.

So suggest something like:
Cast an operand to u64 to prevent potential u32 overflow.
