+CRYPTO ENGINE
+=============
+
+Overview
+--------
+The crypto engine API (CE), is a crypto queue manager.
+
+Requirement
+-----------
+You have to put at start of your tfm_ctx the struct crypto_engine_ctx
+struct your_tfm_ctx {
+ struct crypto_engine_ctx enginectx;
+ ...
+};
+Why: Since CE manage only crypto_async_request, it cannot know the underlying
+request_type and so have access only on the TFM.
+So using container_of for accessing __ctx is impossible.
+Furthermore, the crypto engine cannot know the "struct your_tfm_ctx",
+so it must assume that crypto_engine_ctx is at start of it.
+
+Order of operations
+-------------------
+You have to obtain a struct crypto_engine via crypto_engine_alloc_init().
+And start it via crypto_engine_start().
+
+Before transferring any request, you have to fill the enginectx.
+- prepare_request: (taking a function pointer) If you need to do some processing before doing the request
+- unprepare_request: (taking a function pointer) Undoing what's done in prepare_request
+- do_one_request: (taking a function pointer) Do encryption for current request
+
+Note: that those three functions get the crypto_async_request associated with the received request.
+So your need to get the original request via container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base);
+
+When your driver receive a crypto_request, you have to transfer it to
+the cryptoengine via one of:
+- crypto_transfer_ablkcipher_request_to_engine()
+- crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
+- crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
+- crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
+- crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
+
+At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following function is needed:
+- crypto_finalize_ablkcipher_request
+- crypto_finalize_aead_request
+- crypto_finalize_akcipher_request
+- crypto_finalize_hash_request
+- crypto_finalize_skcipher_request

+PDC interrupt controller
+
+Qualcomm Technologies Inc. SoCs based on the RPM Hardened architecture have a
+Power Domain Controller (PDC) that is on always-on domain. In addition to
+providing power control for the power domains, the hardware also has an
+interrupt controller that can be used to help detect edge low interrupts as
+well detect interrupts when the GIC is non-operational.
+
+GIC is parent interrupt controller at the highest level. Platform interrupt
+controller PDC is next in hierarchy, followed by others. Drivers requiring
+wakeup capabilities of their device interrupts routed through the PDC, must
+specify PDC as their interrupt controller and request the PDC port associated
+with the GIC interrupt. See example below.
+
+Properties:
+
+- compatible:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <string>
+ Definition: Should contain "qcom,<soc>-pdc"
+ - "qcom,sdm845-pdc": For SDM845
+
+- reg:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+ Definition: Specifies the base physical address for PDC hardware.
+
+- interrupt-cells:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <u32>
+ Definition: Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an interrupt
+ source.
+ Must be 2.
+ The first element of the tuple is the PDC pin for the
+ interrupt.
+ The second element is the trigger type.
+
+- interrupt-parent:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <phandle>
+ Definition: Specifies the interrupt parent necessary for hierarchical
+ domain to operate.
+
+- interrupt-controller:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <bool>
+ Definition: Identifies the node as an interrupt controller.
+
+- qcom,pdc-ranges:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <u32 array>
+ Definition: Specifies the PDC pin offset and the number of PDC ports.
+ The tuples indicates the valid mapping of valid PDC ports
+ and their hwirq mapping.
+ The first element of the tuple is the starting PDC port.
+ The second element is the GIC hwirq number for the PDC port.
+ The third element is the number of interrupts in sequence.
+
+Example:
+
+ pdc: interrupt-controller@b220000 {
+ compatible = "qcom,sdm845-pdc";
+ reg = <0xb220000 0x30000>;
+ qcom,pdc-ranges = <0 512 94>, <94 641 15>, <115 662 7>;
+ #interrupt-cells = <2>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
+ interrupt-controller;
+ };
+
+DT binding of a device that wants to use the GIC SPI 514 as a wakeup
+interrupt, must do -
+
+ wake-device {
+ interrupts-extended = <&pdc 2 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+ };
+
+In this case interrupt 514 would be mapped to port 2 on the PDC as defined by
+the qcom,pdc-ranges property.

- This is the boot clock (CLOCK_BOOTTIME) and is based on the

- suspend. Since the clock access is designed for use in
- tracing in the suspend path, some side effects are possible
- if clock is accessed after the suspend time is accounted before
- the fast mono clock is updated. In this case, the clock update
- appears to happen slightly sooner than it normally would have.
- Also on 32-bit systems, it's possible that the 64-bit boot offset
- sees a partial update. These effects are rare and post
- processing should be able to handle them. See comments in the
