This driver will soon be getting more features so show it some 
refactoring love in the meantime. Switching to using a workqueue and 
sleeping locks improves cryptsetup benchmark results for AES encryption.

Bartosz Golaszewski (9):
      crypto: qce - fix goto jump in error path
      crypto: qce - unregister previously registered algos in error path
      crypto: qce - remove unneeded call to icc_set_bw() in error path
      crypto: qce - shrink code with devres clk helpers
      crypto: qce - convert qce_dma_request() to use devres
      crypto: qce - make qce_register_algs() a managed interface
      crypto: qce - use __free() for a buffer that's always freed
      crypto: qce - convert tasklet to workqueue
      crypto: qce - switch to using a mutex

What is motivating this work?  I thought this driver is useless because ARMv8 CE
is an order of magnitude faster.

I see what might be happening.  This driver registers its algorithms with too
high of a priority, which makes it get used when it shouldn't be.  I've sent out
a patch to fix that.

We'll be extending support for this IP with some additional features
soon like using device unique keys etc. This is just some refreshment
of this module.
