Summary

Permit nonces of lengths 7 through 13 in the OCF framework and the
cryptosoft driver. A helper function (ccm_max_payload_length) can be
used in OCF drivers to reject CCM requests which are too large for the
specified nonce length.

Event Timeline

The cryptosoft changes were tested both by cryptocheck and the updated crypotest.py at the end of the series that tested all the AES-CCM KAT vectors. Note that the KAT vectors also required later fixes for truncated tags, however, cryptocheck was able to verify variable nonce lengths with a 16 byte tag.
