What's going on here? If these are simply two instances of the same IP 
block as the evidence suggests, why are they crammed into a single DT 
node rather than simply being described as two separate instances? I was 
rather wondering what all the confusing mess in patch #16 was about, 
until I got here.

If there's something in the crypto API that means the driver can't 
simply naively register itself multiple times, there should be any 
number of ways for the probe routine to keep track of whether it's 
already registered something and associate any subsequent devices with 
the first one internally if need be. Linux implementation details should 
not leak out as non-standard DT weirdness.

I know the Rockchip IOMMU driver does this, but in that case the two 
IOMMU instances are closely coupled and sharing work such that they 
effectively need to be programmed identically at all times, so it was a 
bit more justifiable. I don't know the full story here, but it certainly 
looks like rk_get_engine_number() is just a means to schedule work on 
any available unit independently, so looks like it wouldn't take much to 
select between distinct devices at that point, and actually end up a lot 
simpler and cleaner overall.
