Subject: [PATCH 4.4 134/192] [PATCH 4.4 04/16] crypto: nx-842 - Mask XERS0 bit in return value

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Haren Myneni <haren@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 6333ed8f26cf77311088d2e2b7cf16d8480bcbb2 ]

NX842 coprocessor sets 3rd bit in CR register with XER[S0] which is
nothing to do with NX request. Since this bit can be set with other
valuable return status, mast this bit.

One of other bits (INITIATED, BUSY or REJECTED) will be returned for
any given NX request.
