If Exynos has SlimSSS, it has also SSS. SlimSSS is separated from SSS, it is like SSS
limited to only AES and HASH, and HASH got limited in capabilities. In Exynos5420 SSS
HASH has SHA-1,SHA-256,md5 with/without HMAC, but slimSSS has only SHA-1,SHA-256/HMAC.
SlimSSS AES has all modes present in SSS, these are ECB, CBC, CTR, XTS and CMAC.
The same goes for Exynos5433.

There are no conflicts between SlimSSS and SSS.

SlimSSS has same AES registers offsets from base as in SSS, so the s5p-sss driver can
reuse code. It is preferred to use SSS but on Exynos5433 I was unable to read its register
(FEEDCTRL) with all clocks enabled, maybe because firmware loaded secureOS (trustzone).
