Sure, I'll add a comment.
Should I line up all the MACRO definitions? If yes, should I send it as a separate patch?

File size is for the fastrpc shell that is to be loaded. This is the size of buffer allocated by user and passed
to the driver. The driver will map this buffer to SMMU before passing it to DSP. Therefore the bound
check on this size is necessary. As for initmem size for remote process on DSP, this size is also inclusive of
initial requirements of DSP size user process(user PD), hence separating it from file size macro.

This is tested with fastrpc use cases available in hexagon SDK:
