Pull staging/IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging and iio driver pull request for 4.21-rc1.

  Lots and lots of tiny patches here, nothing major at all. Which is
  good, tiny cleanups is nice to see. No new huge driver removal or
  addition, this release cycle, although there are lots of good IIO
  driver changes, addtions, and movement from staging into the "real"
  part of the kernel, which is always great.

  Full details are in the shortlog, and all of these have been in
  linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

<title>crypto: drop mask=CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC from 'cipher' tfm allocations</title>

<id>1ad0f1603a6b2afb62a1c065409aaa4e43ca7627</id>
<content type='text'>
'cipher' algorithms (single block ciphers) are always synchronous, so
passing CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC in the mask to crypto_alloc_cipher() has no
effect.  Many users therefore already don't pass it, but some still do.
This inconsistency can cause confusion, especially since the way the
'mask' argument works is somewhat counterintuitive.

Thus, just remove the unneeded CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC flags.

This patch shouldn't change any actual behavior.

Pull staging/IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.20-rc1.

  There are lots of things here, we ended up adding more lines than
  removing, thanks to a large influx of Comedi National Instrument
  device support. Someday soon we need to get comedi out of staging...

  Other than the comedi drivers, the "big" things here are:

   - new iio drivers

   - delete dgnc driver (no one used it and no one had the hardware
     anymore)

   - vbox driver updates and fixes

   - erofs fixes

   - tons and tons of tiny checkpatch fixes for almost all staging
     drivers

  All of these have been in linux-next, with the last few happening a
  bit "late" due to them getting stuck on my laptop during travel to the
  Mantainers summit"

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
replaces struct crypto_skcipher and SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK() usage
with struct crypto_sync_skcipher and SYNC_SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK(),
which uses a fixed stack size.

This is an identical change to the wireless/lib80211 of the same name.
In preparing to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
removes the discouraged use of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK in favor of
the smaller SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK by converting from ahash-wrapped-shash
to direct shash. By removing a layer of indirection this both improves
performance and reduces stack usage. The stack allocation will be made
a fixed size in a later patch to the crypto subsystem.
