Re: IV generation in cryptographic driver in AEAD

Forgive my dumbness, but in:

      .cra_type = &crypto_aead_type,
      .cra_u = {
            .aead = {
                .setkey = pp_crypto_aead_setkey,
                .setauthsize = pp_crypto_aead_setauthsize,
                .decrypt = pp_crypto_aead_dec,
                .encrypt = pp_crypto_aead_enc,
                .givencrypt = pp_crypto_aead_genivencrypt,
                .givdecrypt = pp_crypto_aead_genivdecrypt,
                .ivsize = AES_BLOCK_SIZE,
                .maxauthsize = SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE,
            },
      },

Just delete the givencrypt and givdecrypt lines (or set to NULL)?
