Hardware bound keys buffer has additional information, that will be accessed using this new structure.
I don't really understand what I should get from this. It lacks motivation and function of this structure, even the name of the structure. Hardware bound key does not mean anything at all without a context. I don't know what it is.
structure members are: - flags, flags for hardware specific information. - key_sz, size of the plain key.
Who cares listing member names?

Formatting here is incorrect and there is no such license in existence as "GPL-2.0-only". Should probably be: /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ */ /* * Copyright (C) 2022 NXP Semiconductors N.V. */ Author-field is redundant as it is part of the git metadata. Also it is inaccurate description of authorship, as a file can have multiple contributors over time. This all is documented in https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/license-rules.html
