Like I said on the UFS patchset: as this previously went through a number of
iterations as part of the "Inline Encryption Support" patchset (latest v13:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200514003727.69001-1-satyat@xxxxxxxxxx), it would be
helpful to list the changelog from v13 (though I can see that not too much
changed).  And I probably would have called it v14, but it doesn't matter much.

Explicit mentioning how this was tested would also be helpful.  And for that
matter, we should update the "Tests" section of the fscrypt documentation file
to mention also using the inlinecrypt mount option, e.g.:
