Looks like exynos driver does that. I understand that the crypto callback don't provide driver context as they copy the data structures passed in registration API, but a simpler way to get driver context would be desirable. - .seed seems to be mandatory, if I do not set it and even use .seedsize = 0, it panics at crypto_rng_reset(). So is .seed mandatory?
