I don't think list_sz is properly calculated if you don't rule out the
count = 0 case (did the same mistake in Kernel at first :D)...if count is
zero list_sz ends up being 4 [(1 + (0 - 1) / 4 ) * 4] while it should be
zero. (...and 'if (count)' also avoid an unneeded memcpy of zero bytes)

Moreover reviewing my own proposal code below it's probably easier to use
some sort of macro like ALIGN(count, 4) if there's one in TF-A/OP-TEE.
(...checking anyway that can handle correctly the zero case..)

Thanks,
Etienne
