Subject: [PATCH 15/15] wifi: mac80211: Use AES-CMAC library in aes_s2v()

From: Eric Biggers <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 13:35:01 -0800

Now that AES-CMAC has a library API, convert aes_s2v() to use it instead
of a "cmac(aes)" crypto_shash.  The result is faster and simpler code.

It's also more reliable, since with the library the only step that can
fail is preparing the key.  In contrast, crypto_shash_digest(),
crypto_shash_init(), crypto_shash_update(), and crypto_shash_final()
could all fail and return an errno value.  aes_s2v() ignored these
errors, which was a bug.  So that bug is fixed as well.

As part of this, change the prototype of aes_s2v() to take the raw key
directly instead of a prepared key.  Its only two callers prepare a key
for each call, so it might as well be done directly in aes_s2v().

Since this removes the last dependency on the "cmac(aes)" crypto_shash
from mac80211, also remove the 'select CRYPTO_CMAC'.
