The user is the DPAA2 crypto engine - RFC patches 5-9 (link above),

I've split the RFC patch set, since:
-crypto-specific patches (5-9) received the ack from maintainer (Herbert Xu)
-DPIO dependencies (staging tree), i.e. patches 1-4, received no
attention -> hence sending them separately

I am open to suggestions on how to go with a patch set that is touching
the staging and crypto trees.

Thanks,
Horia
