The crypto engine in Armada 370 SoCs is currently broken. It can be

opkg install openssl-util

After configuring /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf to let openssl use the crypto
engine for digest operations, and performing some checksums..
md5sum 10M-file.bin
openssl md5 10M-file.bin
...we can see they don't match.
There might be an alignment or size constraint issue caused by the
idle-sram area.
Use the whole crypto sram and disable the idle-sram area to fix it. Also
disable the idle support by adding the broken-idle property to prevent
accessing the disabled idle-sram.
We don't care about disabling the idle support since it is already broken
in Armada 370 causing a huge performance loss because it disables
permanently the L2 cache. This was reported in the Openwrt forum and
elsewhere by Debian users with different board models.
Is the L2 cache disabled without or with this patch?

Could you send this also to the upstream Linux maintainers, I would like
to get their opinion on this and if this is correct it should also go
into upstream Linux.
