crypto: nx - fix limits to sg lists for SHA-2
The co-processor has several limits regarding the length of
scatter/gather lists and the total number of bytes in it. These limits
are available in the device tree, as following:
- "ibm,max-sg-len": maximum number of bytes of each scatter/gather
list.
- "ibm,max-sync-cop": used for synchronous operations, it is an array
of structures that contains information regarding the limits that
must be considered for each mode and operation. The most important
limits in it are:
- The total number of bytes that a scatter/gather list can hold.
- The maximum number of elements that a scatter/gather list can
have.
This patch updates the NX driver to perform several hyper calls if
needed in order to always respect the length limits for scatter/gather
lists.
