Remarks:

* After the subsystem tag, short summary starts with a capital lettter.
* Missing fixes tag and cc tag to stable.
* A struct called allocated_banks does not exist.
* Please prefer using an imperative sentence when describing the action
  to take e.g. "Thus, initialize crypto_id to HASH_ALGO__LAST".
