[PATCH 13/33] crypto: aes - Add CCM support using library

From: Eric Biggers

Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 01:42:31 EST


Implement the "ccm(aes)" crypto_aead algorithm using the corresponding
library functions.

Among other benefits, this allows the architecture-optimized AES-CCM
code to be migrated into the library while still leaving it accessible
via crypto_aead, eliminating lots of boilerplate code.

For now the cra_priority is set to just 110, since the
architecture-optimized implementations of this algorithm haven't yet
been migrated into the library. It will be boosted once that happens.
