crypto: marvell - Add support for chaining crypto requests in TDMA mode
The Cryptographic Engines and Security Accelerators (CESA) supports the Multi-Packet Chain Mode. With this mode enabled, multiple tdma requests can be chained and processed by the hardware without software intervention. This mode was already activated, however the crypto requests were not chained together. By doing so, we reduce significantly the number of IRQs. Instead of being interrupted at the end of each crypto request, we are interrupted at the end of the last cryptographic request processed by the engine. This commits re-factorizes the code, changes the code architecture and adds the required data structures to chain cryptographic requests together before sending them to an engine (stopped or possibly already running).
