Generally have you measured the performance of this driver? Is it faster
than the software implementation?

Under certain circumstances a clk_prepare_enable might become expensive,
so it could happen that all this clk enabling/disabling takes longer
than the action you do in between. Using pm_runtime might help here.

You never set crc->processed_desc to anything, so this optimization
never triggers.

Unless properly implementing this skip-to-reinitialize-hardware really
brings a measurerable performance gain I would just drop this
optimization. In the end you only save a few register writes, but it
makes the driver more complicated.

These seem unnecessary. The crypto core will set these with similar
wrappers if unspecified.

Should be done before the shashes are registered.
