Instead of open coding the CCM aead mode in the driver, and invoking the AES block cipher block by block, use a ccm(aes) aead transform which already encapsulates this functionality. This is a cleaner use of the crypto API, and permits optimized implementations to be used, which are typically much faster and deal more efficiently with the SIMD register file, which usually needs to be preserved/restored in order to use special AES instructions.

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.
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.
