As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they

I don't think it can actually happen because the size is strictly bounded
to the available block sizes, at most 128 bytes, though inlining decisions
could lead gcc to not see that.
Use the unsafe_memcpy() helper instead of memcpy(), with the only difference
being that this skips the hardening checks that produce the warning.

There are cases when the interrupt status register (JRINTR) is non-zero,
even though:
1. An interrupt was generated, but it was masked OR
2. There was no interrupt generated at all
for the corresponding job ring.
1. The case when interrupt is masked (JRCFGR_LS[IMSK]=1b'1)
while other events have happened and are being accounted for, e.g.
-JRINTR[HALT]=2b'10 - input job ring underwent a flush of all on-going
jobs and processing of still-existing jobs (sitting in the ring) has been
halted
-JRINTR[HALT]=2b'01 - input job ring is currently undergoing a flush
-JRINTR[ENTER_FAIL]=1b'1 - SecMon / SNVS transitioned to FAIL MODE
It doesn't matter whether these events would assert the interrupt signal
or not, interrupt is anyhow masked.
2. The case when interrupt is not masked (JRCFGR_LS[IMSK]=1b'0), however
the events accounted for in JRINTR do not generate interrupts, e.g.:
-JRINTR[HALT]=2b'01
-JRINTR[ENTER_FAIL]=1b'1 and JRCFGR_MS[FAIL_MODE]=1b'0
Currently in these cases, when the JR interrupt handler is invoked (as a
consequence of JR sharing the interrupt line with other devices - e.g.
the two JRs on i.MX7ULP) it continues execution instead of returning
IRQ_NONE.
This could lead to situations like interrupt handler clearing JRINTR (and
thus also the JRINTR[HALT] field) while corresponding job ring is
suspended and then that job ring failing on resume path, due to expecting
JRINTR[HALT]=b'10 and reading instead JRINTR[HALT]=b'00.
Fix this by checking status of JRINTR[JRI] in the JR interrupt handler.
If JRINTR[JRI]=1b'0, there was no interrupt generated for this JR and
handler must return IRQ_NONE.

In caam_jr_enqueue, under heavy DDR load, smp_wmb() or dma_wmb()
fail to make the input ring be updated before the CAAM starts
reading it. So, CAAM will process, again, an old descriptor address
and will put it in the output ring. This will make caam_jr_dequeue()
to fail, since this old descriptor is not in the software ring.
To fix this, use wmb() which works on the full system instead of
inner/outer shareable domains.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().
Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

stm32_hash_remove() is only called after stm32_hash_probe() succeeded. In
this case platform_set_drvdata() was called with a non-NULL data patameter.
The check for hdev being non-NULL can be dropped because hdev is never NULL
(or something bad like memory corruption happened and then the check
doesn't help any more either).

If pm_runtime_get() (disguised as pm_runtime_resume_and_get()) fails, this
means the clk wasn't prepared and enabled. Returning early in this case
however is wrong as then the following resource frees are skipped and this
is never catched up. So do all the cleanups but clk_disable_unprepare().
Also don't emit a warning, as stm32_hash_runtime_resume() already emitted
one.
Note that the return value of stm32_hash_remove() is mostly ignored by
the device core. The only effect of returning zero instead of an error
value is to suppress another warning in platform_remove(). So return 0
even if pm_runtime_resume_and_get() failed.
