Patches 1-5 applied.  Patch 6 failed to apply because the cryptodev
tree already has a patch that converts caam to use dma_map_sg instead
of the caam-specific dma_map_sg_chained.  If your patch is still
needed could you please rebase it on top of cryptodev?

commit 13fb8fd7a81923f7a64b4e688fe0bdaf1ea26adf
Author: LABBE Corentin <clabbe.montjoie@xxxxxxxxx>

    crypto: caam - dma_map_sg can handle chained SG
