Series applies on top of Andreas' regression fix here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/[e-mail]/

v3 was here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/cover.9fc9298[e-mail]

v3 -> v4:
  - Collected Acked-by's, Reviewed-by's and Tested-by
  - Fixed typo spotted by David
  - Rebased on top of Andreas' regression fix and pulled Kconfig
    inflexibility fix back into series

v2 -> v3:
 - Split off first Kconfig preparation patch. It fixes a regression,
   so sent that out, so it can be applied separately (Sumit)
 - Split off second key import patch. I'll send that out separately
   as it's a development aid and not required within the CAAM series
 - add MAINTAINERS entry

v1 -> v2:
 - Added new commit to make trusted key Kconfig option independent
   of TPM and added new Kconfig file for trusted keys
 - Add new commit for importing existing key material
 - Allow users to force use of kernel RNG (Jarkko)
 - Enforce maximum keymod size (Horia)
 - Use append_seq_(in|out)_ptr_intlen instead of append_seq_(in|out)_ptr
   (Horia)
 - Make blobifier handle private to CAAM glue code file (Horia)
 - Extend trusted keys documentation for CAAM
 - Rebased and updated original cover letter:

The Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM) is an IP core
built into many newer i.MX and QorIQ SoCs by NXP.

Its blob mechanism can AES encrypt/decrypt user data using a unique
never-disclosed device-specific key.

There has been multiple discussions on how to represent this within the kernel:

The Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM) is an IP core
built into many newer i.MX and QorIQ SoCs by NXP.

Its blob mechanism can AES encrypt/decrypt user data using a unique
never-disclosed device-specific key. There has been multiple
discussions on how to represent this within the kernel:

 - [RFC] crypto: caam - add red blobifier
   Steffen implemented[1] a PoC sysfs driver to start a discussion on how to
   best integrate the blob mechanism.
   Mimi suggested that it could be used to implement trusted keys.
   Trusted keys back then were a TPM-only feature.

 - security/keys/secure_key: Adds the secure key support based on CAAM.
   Udit added[2] a new "secure" key type with the CAAM as backend. The key
   material stays within the kernel only.
   Mimi and James agreed that this needs a generic interface, not specific
   to CAAM. Mimi suggested trusted keys. Jan noted that this could serve as
   basis for TEE-backed keys.

 - [RFC] drivers: crypto: caam: key: Add caam_tk key type
   Franck added[3] a new "caam_tk" key type based on Udit's work. This time
   it uses CAAM "black blobs" instead of "red blobs", so key material stays
   within the CAAM and isn't exposed to kernel in plaintext.
   James voiced the opinion that there should be just one user-facing generic
   wrap/unwrap key type with multiple possible handlers.
   David suggested trusted keys.

 - Introduce TEE based Trusted Keys support
   Sumit reworked[4] trusted keys to support multiple possible backends with
   one chosen at boot time and added a new TEE backend along with TPM.
   This now sits in Jarkko's master branch to be sent out for v5.13

This patch series builds on top of Sumit's rework to have the CAAM as yet another
trusted key backend.

The CAAM bits are based on Steffen's initial patch from 2015. His work had been
used in the field for some years now, so I preferred not to deviate too much from it.

This series has been tested with dmcrypt[5] on an i.MX6DL.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Cheers,
Ahmad
