[U-Boot] [PATCH] The type expected by %zd is ssize_t, but it was being passed a size_t.

[Gabe Black]

This was necessary at one point, but I've been trying to get that warning
to happen again so I can add it to the change message and it won't. These
early patches were done 5 or 6 months ago with a different version of the
repository, a different compiler, on a different system, etc., so it'd be
tricky to figure out exactly what was triggering this before.

I think the changed version is genuinely more correct, but since I can't
get gcc to complain now it doesn't seem like that serious a problem. I'd
say take it or leave it as you see fit, and I'll try a few more things to
see if I can get it to happen again.
