[PATCH v4 06/14] crypto: aes: fix software key-size handling
James Hilliard

Mon Jul 13 08:43:03 CEST 2026
The AES uclass API expresses key sizes in bits, while the common software
AES primitives take key lengths in bytes. The software provider passes the
uclass value through unchanged, so AES-192 and AES-256 select the AES-128
round count and key schedule shape. Key expansion also copies the bit count
as a byte count for every key size.
Validate the uclass key size, convert it to bytes once and retain that byte
length for the software operations. Correct the primitive API documentation
and add NIST ECB and CBC vectors for AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256.
