Unrelated question: I have my Keem Bay OCS ECC patchset [1] almost ready for re-submission. Should I go ahead or should I wait for the final decision about using 'ecdh-nist-pXXX' in place of 'ecdh'? Also, I guess I'll have to drop P-384 support from the driver, since the are no in-kernel user AFAIK.
