This patch series introduces a staged refactoring of the Atmel crypto I2C
drivers in preparation for a shared core-based architecture. The goal is to
consolidate I2C client management and selection logic into a common
atmel-i2c core driver while keeping ECC (ECDH) and SHA204A client drivers
functionally separate but interoperating through shared infrastructure.

The series moves existing ECC-specific client tracking into a shared
management structure, relocates allocation and selection logic, and
introduces capability-based filtering for hardware selection. This allows
individual crypto drivers to request hardware clients based on supported
features while still benefiting from a unified least-loaded selection
strategy.

Subsequent patches extend this base by:
- migrating client management fully into the core driver,
- introducing explicit capability advertisement by each hardware client,
- updating ECC and SHA204A drivers to participate in capability-aware allocation,
- and cleaning up probe/remove paths to ensure consistent lifecycle handling.

No functional behavioral changes are intended at this stage beyond internal
refactoring and preparation for future feature expansion. The series is
designed to preserve existing crypto functionality while gradually
centralizing shared logic in the atmel-i2c core layer, reducing duplication
and improving maintainability across all Atmel crypto drivers.

v2 -> v3:
- sashiko feedback[2]
- ecc: reorder setting ready flag in probe()
- i2c: unconditionally call flush in unregister client function, to avoid UAF for multiple devices
- i2c: fixed a sleep-in-atomic bug by moving atmel_i2c_flush_queue() outside the spin_lock section
- sha204a: reorder calls in remove() avoid UAF flagged risk
- sha204a: rephrase commit messages

v1 -> v2:
- going over Sashiko feedback[1]
- rephrasing commit messages and titles
- fix: introduce a ready/state flag to address the UAF risk
- fix: add kpp lock and refcnt to impede overwriting global driver struct
- fix: explicitely clearing rng cached buffer in return branch
- unregistering ready state by dedicated function
- reorder Atmel ECC related things and atmel I2C at beginning
- reorder Atmel SHA204a related things behind introduction of cap
- patches dropped: NULL checks in remove functions
- changed to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
- additionally to alloc hw client also migrate freeing it to core driver
