Add support for eMMC inline encryption using the blk-crypto framework (Documentation/block/inline-encryption.rst). eMMC inline encryption support is specified by the upcoming JEDEC eMMC v5.2 specification. It is only specified for the CQ interface, not the non-CQ interface. Although the eMMC v5.2 specification hasn't been officially released yet, the crypto support was already agreed on several years ago, and it was already implemented by at least two major hardware vendors. Lots of hardware in the field already supports and uses it, e.g. Snapdragon 630 to give one example. eMMC inline encryption support is very similar to the UFS inline encryption support which was standardized in the UFS v2.1 specification and was already upstreamed. The only major difference is that eMMC limits data unit numbers to 32 bits, unlike UFS's 64 bits. Like we did with UFS, make the crypto support opt-in by individual drivers; don't enable it automatically whenever the hardware declares crypto support. This is necessary because in every case we've seen, some extra vendor-specific logic is needed to use the crypto support.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
