The change adds description of Qualcomm crypto engine controller and
BAM associated with it. The change is inspired by commit 3e482859f1
("dts: qcom: sdm845: Add dt entries to support crypto engine.")
While performance of cryptographic algorithms executed on QCE is lower
than e.g. ones tinkered for ARM NEON, the offloaded execution would
make sense:
# cryptsetup benchmark | grep aes
aes-cbc 128b 71.0 MiB/s 71.9 MiB/s
aes-cbc 256b 62.4 MiB/s 62.4 MiB/s
aes-xts 256b 70.7 MiB/s 70.8 MiB/s
aes-xts 512b 62.0 MiB/s 63.3 MiB/s

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.
