platform_ops.malloc() vs. realloc()

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

arch/powerpc/boot/ops.h has:

| /* Platform specific operations */
| struct platform_ops {
|         void    (*fixups)(void);
|         void    (*image_hdr)(const void *);
|         void *  (*malloc)(u32 size);
|         void    (*free)(void *ptr);
|         void *  (*realloc)(void *ptr, unsigned long size);
|         void    (*exit)(void);
| };

Is there a specific reason why the size parameters of malloc() and realloc()
differ in type?
