      ====================
      crypto/chcr: Add support for Chelsio Crypto Driver
      
      This patch series adds support for Chelsio Crypto driver.
      
      The patch series has been created against net-next tree and includes
      patches for Chelsio Low Level Driver(cxgb4) and adds the new crypto
      Upper Layer Driver(chcr) under a new directory drivers/crypto/chelsio.
      
      Patch 1/4 ("cxgb4: Add support for dynamic allocation of resources for
      ULD") adds support for dynamic allocation of resources for ULD. The
      objective of this patch is to provide generic interface for upper layer
      drivers to allocate and initialize hardware resources.
      
      The present cxgb4 (network driver) apart from network functionality, also
      initializes hardware and thus acts as lower layer driver for other drivers
      to use hardware resources. Thus it acts as both a Low level driver for
      Upper layer driver's like iw_cxgb4, cxgb4i and cxgb4it and a Network Driver.
      
      Right now the allocation of resources for Upper layer driver's is done
      statically. Patch 1/4 adds a new infrastructure for dynamic allocation of
      resources. cxgb4 will read the hardware capability through firmware and
      allocate/free the queues for Upper layer drivers when the respective
      driver's are loaded and freed when unloaded.
      
      Patch 2/3, 3/4 and 4/4 adds support for Chelsio Crypto Driver. The Crypto
      driver will act as another ULD on top of cxgb4.
      
      In this patch series, the ULD API framework is used only by crypto and other
      ULD's will make use of it in the next series.
      
      This patch series is only for review, if this looks ok we will test it
      thoroughly and send request for merge.
      
      We have included all the maintainers of respective drivers. Kindly
      review the changes and provide feedback on the same.
      
      V3: - Removed crypto queues from cxgb4 and added support for dynamic
            allocation of resources for Upper layer drivers
          - Dependency fix in Kconfig.
      
      V2: - Some residual code cleanup
          - Adds pr_fmt with chcr (KBUILD_MODNAME) added
          - Changes var name to accomodate them <80 columns in the chcr_register_alg
          - Support for printing the crypto queue stats
          - Fix compile warnings reported by kbuild bot for certain architectures
          - Dependency fix in Kconfig.
          - If the request has the MAY_BACKLOG bit set and hardware queue is
            full the request is queued up else -EBUSY is returned to throttle
            the user. The queue when executed and processed returns -EINPROGRESS
            in completion.
