Change the nx-842 common driver to wait for loading of both platform
drivers, and fail loading if the platform driver pointer is not set.
Add an independent platform driver pointer, that the platform drivers
set if they find they are able to load (i.e. if they find their platform
devicetree node(s)).
The problem is currently, the main nx-842 driver will stay loaded even
if there is no platform driver and thus no possible way it can do any
compression or decompression. This allows the crypto 842-nx driver
to load even if it won't actually work. For crypto compression users
(e.g. zswap) that expect an available crypto compression driver to
actually work, this is bad. This patch fixes that, so the 842-nx crypto
compression driver won't load if it doesn't have the driver and hardware
available to perform the compression.

Add crypto compression alg for 842 hardware compression and decompression,
using the alg name "842" and driver_name "842-nx".
This uses only the PowerPC coprocessor hardware for 842 compression. It
also uses the hardware for decompression, but if the hardware fails it will
fall back to the 842 software decompression library, so that decompression
never fails (for valid 842 compressed buffers). A header must be used in
most cases, due to the hardware's restrictions on the buffers being
specifically aligned and sized.
Due to the header this driver adds, compressed buffers it creates cannot be
directly passed to the 842 software library for decompression. However,
compressed buffers created by the software 842 library can be passed to
this driver for hardware 842 decompression (with the exception of buffers
containing the "short data" template, as lib/842/842.h explains).

Add NX-842 frontend that allows using either the pSeries platform or
PowerNV platform driver (to be added by later patch) for the NX-842
hardware. Update the MAINTAINERS file to include the new filenames.
Update Kconfig files to clarify titles and descriptions, and correct
dependencies.

Move the entire NX-842 driver for the pSeries platform from the file
nx-842.c to nx-842-pseries.c. This is required by later patches that
add NX-842 support for the PowerNV platform.
This patch does not alter the content of the pSeries NX-842 driver at
all, it only changes the filename.

This patch adds the driver for interacting with the 842
compression accelerator on IBM Power7+ systems.
The device is a child of the Platform Facilities Option (PFO)
and shows up as a child of the IBM VIO bus.
The compression/decompression API takes the same arguments
as existing compression methods like lzo and deflate. The 842
hardware operates on 4K hardware pages and the driver breaks up
input on 4K boundaries to submit it to the hardware accelerator.

This patch creates a new submenu for the NX cryptographic
hardware accelerator and breaks the NX options into their own
Kconfig file under drivers/crypto/nx/Kconfig.
This will permit additional NX functionality to be easily
and more cleanly added in the future without touching
drivers/crypto/Makefile|Kconfig.
