The return value ret.a2 is of type unsigned long and FFA_RET_NO_DATA is
a negative value.
Since the return value from the firmware can be just 32-bit even on
64-bit systems as FFA specification mentions it as int32 error code in
w0 register, explicitly casting to s32 ensures correct sign interpretation
when comparing against a signed error code FFA_RET_NO_DATA.
Without casting, comparison between unsigned long and a negative
constant could lead to unintended results due to type promotions.
