As said by Linus:
A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
Otherwise it's actively misleading.
In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
caller wants.
In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.
The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.
Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.
The renaming is done by using the command sequence:
git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'
followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

In preparation of adding support for the random number generator in
Atmel atsha204a devices, refactor the existing atmel-ecc driver (which
drives hardware that is closely related) so we can share the basic
I2C and command queuing routines.

The Atmel/Microchip EC508A is a I2C device that could be wired into
any platform, and is being used on the Linaro/96boards Secure96
mezzanine adapter. This means it could be found on any platform, even
on ones that use ACPI enumeration (via PRP0001 devices). So update the
code to enable this use case.
This involves tweaking the bus rate discovery code to take ACPI probing
into account, which records the maximum bus rate as a property of the
slave device. For the atmel-ecc code, this means that the effective bus
rate should never exceed the maximum rate, unless we are dealing with
buggy firmware. Nonetheless, let's just use the existing plumbing to
discover the bus rate and keep the existing logic intact.

Functions atmel_ecc_i2c_client_alloc and atmel_ecc_i2c_client_free are
local to the source and no not need to be in the global scope. Make
them static.
Cleans up sparse warnings:
symbol 'atmel_ecc_i2c_client_alloc' was not declared. Should it be static?

Add ECDH support for ATECC508A (I2C) device.
The device features hardware acceleration for the NIST standard
P256 prime curve and supports the complete key life cycle from
private key generation to ECDH key agreement.
Random private key generation is supported internally within
the device to ensure that the private key can never be known
outside of the device. If the user wants to use its own private
keys, the driver will fallback to the ecdh software implementation.
