Hi Christophe,

Thanks for rebasing on cryptodev-2.6, now I can easily see the
differences for review.

This will set CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_TALITOS1=y on a kernel with both
PPC_82xx and PPC_83xx set, and will therefore break talitos when run
on an 83xx part.

The driver needs to work on both v1 and v2/3 SECs dynamically,
and behave accordingly depending on what version h/w is described in
the device tree ("fsl,secX").

So, barring making a completely new driver, a couple of points:

- A h/w version 1 vs 2 compatible priv variable can be allocated for
parts of the driver that need quicker access than calling
of_device_is_compatible().  Other parts that do better as complete
function rewrites (the scatter-gather mapping fns?) can be
abstracted away using pointers to the v1 vs. v2+ base functions.
The pointers would live in the device's priv struct, and be assigned
at module initialization time.

- instead of rewriting the structs talitos_ptr, talitos_desc, either
use the v2-named member as-is, or make unions.

E.g., instead of having a new struct talitos_ptr, either use the v2
h/w version as-is and shift the length into place, or, add a v1 len
via a union, and make to_talitos_ptr a pointer to a function, with
the v1 version of the function updating only the v1 len.

For struct talitos_desc, how about:

struct talitos_desc {
	__be32 hdr;
	struct talitos_ptr[8];
}

and have the desc->ptr[X] assigning code add 1 via a new macro iff
on a SEC2 compatible (the hdr_lo code would have to be hardcoded to
refer to ptr[0] instead of hdr_lo directly, and next_desc would be
ptr[7]).

talitos_edesc shouldn't need the extra ptr_{in,out}, rather allocate
the extra space when they're needed, and refer to them via aliases
to defines that cast and use link_tbl[0] as a base reference.

For IO register accesses, either a lookup table can be used, or,
since they're not frequent, define v1-specific defines in addition
to the v2 ones, and reference using the compatible variable.

Other than that, please make sure to use checkpatch.pl --strict,
sparse -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__, and that building as a module doesn't
break.

Thanks,

Kim
