("crypto: caam - set descriptor sharing type to SERIAL")
changed the descriptor sharing mode from SHARE_WAIT to SHARE_SERIAL.

All descriptor commands that handle the "ok to share" and
"error propagation" settings should also go away, since they have no
meaning for SHARE_SERIAL.

This comment basically says 'x = x' , but it doesn't explain anything to
uninformed observer. Can you fix such comments please ?

The line under the comment is:
append_math_sub(desc, VARSEQINLEN, REG2, REG3, CAAM_CMD_SZ);

which translates to:
VARSEQINLEN = REG2 - REG3

The comment basically says that VARSEQINLEN gets assoclen by substracting REG3 = cryptlen from REG2 = assoclen + cryptlen.

If you still think this is "cryptic", that's perfectly fine - I'll respin the patch.
