Hello

This is the driver for the Security System included in Allwinner SoC A20.
The Security System (SS for short) is a hardware cryptographic accelerator that
support AES/MD5/SHA1/DES/3DES/PRNG algorithms.
It could be found on others Allwinner SoC: 
- A10, A10s, A13, A31 and A33 manual give the same datasheet for SS than A20
- A23 speak about a security system but without precisions
- A80 and A83T datasheet speak about a security system with more functions
  (SHA224/SHA256/RSA/CRC), they will be supported in a separate driver
But I do not have access on any of those hardware, tests are welcome.
Maybe this is just a nitpick, but I would reverse the ordering of
patches in this series. The biggest inconsistency is the fact that
you're adding yourself as a maintainer of something that does not even
exist.

Best Regards,

Boris
