The reality is simpler, I just copied what did drivers/crypto/xilinx/zynqmp-sha.c

The device does nothing wrong, I removed all sun8i-ce device action (and kept DMA API actions) and the the whole buffer is still corrupted.
Anyway if the driver was doing something wrong, it should have fail on arm or arm64.

See my previous report https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YllWTN+15CoskNBt@Red/ which show the problem (The invalidated size is bigger than the dma_sync length parameter)
