crypto: caam - limit output IV to CBC to work around CTR mode DMA issue
The CAAM driver currently violates an undocumented and slightly controversial requirement imposed by the crypto stack that a buffer referred to by the request structure via its virtual address may not be modified while any scatterlists passed via the same request structure are mapped for inbound DMA. This may result in errors like alg: aead: decryption failed on test 1 for gcm_base(ctr-aes-caam,ghash-generic): ret=74 alg: aead: Failed to load transform for gcm(aes): -2 on non-cache coherent systems, due to the fact that the GCM driver passes an IV buffer by virtual address which shares a cacheline with the auth_tag buffer passed via a scatterlist, resulting in corruption of the auth_tag when the IV is updated while the DMA mapping is live. Since the IV that is returned to the caller is only valid for CBC mode, and given that the in-kernel users of CBC (such as CTS) don't trigger the same issue as the GCM driver, let's just disable the output IV generation for all modes except CBC for the time being.
