Subject: [PATCH 0/2] crypto: marvell - Remove custom swap function in favor of built-in sort swap

The custom swap function used in octeontx/octeontx2 driver do not
perform any special operations and can be replaced with the built-in
swap function of sort. This change not only reduces code size but also
improves efficiency, especially in scenarios where CONFIG_RETPOLINE is
enabled, as it makes indirect function calls more expensive.

By using the built-in swap, we avoid these costly indirect function
calls, leading to better performance.
