+/**
+ * nx842_constraints
+ *
+ * This provides the driver's constraints. Different nx842 implementations
+ * may have varying requirements. The constraints are:
+ * @alignment: All buffers should be aligned to this
+ * @multiple: All buffer lengths should be a multiple of this
+ * @minimum: Buffer lengths must not be less than this amount
+ * @maximum: Buffer lengths must not be more than this amount
+ *
+ * The constraints apply to all buffers and lengths, both input and output,
+ * for both compression and decompression, except for the minimum which
+ * only applies to compression input and decompression output; the
+ * compressed data can be less than the minimum constraint. It can be
+ * assumed that compressed data will always adhere to the multiple
+ * constraint.
+ *
+ * The driver may succeed even if these constraints are violated;
+ * however the driver can return failure or suffer reduced performance
+ * if any constraint is not met.
