    crypto: omap-aes - Simplify DMA usage by using direct SGs · 4b645c94
    Joel Fernandes authored
    In early version of this driver, assumptions were made such as DMA layer
    requires contiguous buffers etc. Due to this, new buffers were allocated,
    mapped and used for DMA. These assumptions are no longer true and DMAEngine
    scatter-gather DMA doesn't have such requirements. We simply the DMA operations
    by directly using the scatter-gather buffers provided by the crypto layer
    instead of creating our own.
    
    Lot of logic that handled DMA'ing only X number of bytes of the total, or as
    much as fitted into a 3rd party buffer is removed and is no longer required.
    
    Also, good performance improvement of atleast ~20% seen with encrypting a
    buffer size of 8K (1800 ops/sec vs 1400 ops/sec).  Improvement will be higher
    for much larger blocks though such benchmarking is left as an exercise for the
    reader.  Also DMA usage is much more simplified and coherent with rest of the
    code.
