This does not change current behaviour as the driver currently
verifies that the secret size is the same size as the length of

Hmm. Yeah, hash size vs secret size always gets me.
However, wouldn't it be better to return the key size from
nvme_auth_transform_key and us that directly?
(cf the attached patch)

Hi Hannes,

I gave this a try and it ended up being easier to put it in struct nvme_dhchap_key.
V2 also does the nvme target code, and this means the length is stored in the same place.
Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks,
Mark
