The bug can only be in driver which will not implement those two functions, but we already had all drivers with those due to patches 1..4 All other drivers do have them. Additionally, with crypto we want minimize code and run as fast as possible. Moving checks out of core will impose on driver author need for implement those functions, or declare them empty, but in case of empty ones crypto will not work properly with such driver. -- Best regards, Kamil Konieczny Samsung R&D Institute Poland
