[PATCH v3 2/2] crypto: caam - guard HMAC key hex dumps in hash_digest_key

[PATCH v3 2/2] crypto: caam - guard HMAC key hex dumps in hash_digest_key

[Thorsten Blum]

Use print_hex_dump_devel() for dumping sensitive HMAC key bytes in
hash_digest_key() to avoid leaking secrets at runtime when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled.

Fixes: 045e36780f11 ("crypto: caam - ahash hmac support")
Fixes: 3f16f6c9d632 ("crypto: caam/qi2 - add support for ahash algorithms")

This patch now depends on patch 1 in the series.

Changes in v3:
- Convert single CAAM patch into a 2-patch series
- Use print_hex_dump_devel() helper from patch 1/2 to keep call sites
  compiled (Herbert)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260318194649.137257-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/

Changes in v2:
- Debug-guard key hex dumps instead of removing them entirely (Herbert)
- Use print_hex_dump() instead of print_hex_dump_debug() since the dumps
  are already guarded by DEBUG
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260306111204.302544-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
