RC4 hasn't aged very well, and is a poor fit for the skcipher API so it would be good if we could get rid of the ecb(arc4) drivers in the kernel at some point in the future. This prevents new users from creeping in, and allows us to improve the skcipher API without having to care too much about obsolete algorithms that may be difficult to support going forward. So let's get rid of any remaining in-kernel users, either by switching them to the arc4 library API (for cases which simply cannot change algorithms, e.g., WEP), or dropping the code entirely. Also remove the remaining h/w accelerated implementations, and mark the generic s/w implementation as obsolete in Kconfig. Changes since RFC [0]: - keep ecb(arc4) generic C implementation, and the associated test vectors, but print a warning about ecb(arc4) being obsolete so we can identify remaining users - add a Kconfig option to en/disable obsolete algorithms that are only kept around to prevent breaking users that rely on it via the socket interface - add a patch to clean up some bogus Kconfig dependencies - add acks to patches #1, #2 and #3 [0] https://lore.kernel.org/driverdev-devel/20200702101947.682-1-ardb@xxxxxxxxxx/ Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "David S.
