Brijesh Singh e82867fddd crypto: ccp - add timeout support in the SEV command
Currently, the CCP driver assumes that the SEV command issued to the PSP
will always return (i.e. it will never hang).  But recently, firmware bugs
have shown that a command can hang.  Since of the SEV commands are used
in probe routines, this can cause boot hangs and/or loss of virtualization
capabilities.

To protect against firmware bugs, add a timeout in the SEV command
execution flow.  If a command does not complete within the specified
timeout then return -ETIMEOUT and stop the driver from executing any
further commands since the state of the SEV firmware is unknown.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
