## Patch 1/2: common/cnxk: fix DPC alloc config width

### Correctness Issues

**Error: Integer truncation**

The patch correctly identifies and fixes a critical data truncation bug. The `dpc_conf` field was declared as `uint16_t` in the mailbox structure and function parameter, causing the upper 48 bits of the 64-bit configuration value to be silently lost before being sent to the firmware.

```c
/* BAD - before patch */
struct npa_cn20k_dpc_alloc_req {
    struct mbox_msghdr hdr;
    uint16_t __io dpc_conf;  /* Only lower 16 bits preserved */
};

/* GOOD - after patch */
struct npa_cn20k_dpc_alloc_req {
    struct mbox_msghdr hdr;
    uint64_t __io dpc_conf;  /* Full 64-bit value preserved */
};
```

The fix is correct and consistently applied across all three locations (mailbox structure, function declaration, function definition).

## Patch 2/2: common/cnxk: fix DPC double counting for legacy pools

### Correctness Issues

**Error: Potential resource leak on error path in roc_npa_pool_dpc_enable() BEFORE the patch**

Before this patch, the original code had a `goto disable` path that would call `roc_npa_pool_dpc_disable()` to clean up partial configuration. The patch removes this error handling entirely. Let me trace the error paths:

After the first `mbox_process()` call:
```c
rc = mbox_process(mbox);
if (rc < 0)
    goto exit;  /* Changed from 'goto disable' */
```

If `rsp->hdr.rc != 0`:
```c
if (rsp->hdr.rc != 0)
    goto exit;  /* Changed from 'goto disable' */
```

The original code would clean up the DPC configuration on the first context (pool/halo) if the second AQ operation failed. The patched code skips this cleanup. However, examining `roc_npa_pool_dpc_disable()`, it only touches one context type based on the flags, so the original error handling was already incomplete. The patch eliminates the second AQ operation entirely, so there is no longer a "second operation that could fail after the first succeeded" case. The error paths after the patch now correctly jump to `exit` which calls `mbox_put(mbox)` and returns the error.

**No resource leak** - the patch actually simplifies the code by removing the double-write pattern that was causing the double-counting bug. After the patch, there is only one AQ operation, so partial success is not possible.

### Logic Correctness

The patch changes the DPC enable/disable operations for non-halo pools from:
1. Original: Enable on **pool context**, then enable on **aura context** (double counting)
2. Patched: Enable only on **aura context** (single counting)

The commit message states this fixes double counting for legacy (non-halo) pools. The code changes are consistent with this intent. For halo pools, behavior is unchanged (still uses halo context).

The symmetry between enable and disable paths is preserved - both now touch only the aura context for non-halo pools.

### Style

**Warning: Deleted blank line inconsistency**

In `roc_npa_pool_dpc_disable()`, the patch removes the blank line before the `exit:` label:

```c
/* Before */
	rc = 0;

exit:
	mbox_put(mbox);

/* After */
	rc = 0;
exit:
	mbox_put(mbox);
```

This is inconsistent with `roc_npa_pool_dpc_enable()` which retains the blank line before its `exit:` label. For consistency within the same file, keep the blank line in both functions or remove it from both.

### Code Quality

**Info: Simplified error handling**

The patch removes ~30 lines of code by eliminating the second AQ operation for non-halo pools. The error handling is now simpler and easier to verify. This is a positive simplification that also fixes the double-counting bug.

---

## Summary

Patch 1/2 is a correct fix for integer truncation.

Patch 2/2 correctly fixes the double-counting issue by removing the redundant DPC configuration on the pool context for non-halo pools. The error handling simplification is appropriate because there is no longer a "partial success" case to clean up.

The only issue is a minor style inconsistency (blank line before `exit:` label).

## WARNINGS

**Patch 2/2**

Blank line handling inconsistency: `roc_npa_pool_dpc_disable()` removes the blank line before the `exit:` label while `roc_npa_pool_dpc_enable()` keeps it. For consistency, match the style in both functions - either keep the blank line before both `exit:` labels or remove it from both.
