The crypto_alg and ahash_alg must indeed stay non-const but
sss_hash_algs_info is different. You do not pass it to crypto-core.

Current driver matches hardware in one-to-one so indeed there cannot be
two s5p_aes_dev devices. However this might change thus almost every
driver tries to follow the pattern of state-container passed to device
(e.g. platform_set_drvdata()). With this approach the code is nicely
encapsulated and usually much easier to review. Globals (or file-scope
variables) usually makes code more difficult to maintain.

In this driver this is not entirely possible as some crypto-functions do
not allow passing driver-supplied opaque pointer. But except this case,
everywhere else the driver should follow common convention - do not use
static variables.
