What is the real wording for this device family?
Sometimes I read OcteonTX with lowercases and no space,
sometimes OCTEONTX without space, sometimes OCTEON TX.
Another note: You should differentiate ethdev and cryptodev devices,
at least in the maintainer file.
We have nicvf, zipvf, ssovf, timvf.
OCTEON TX (with the space) is the registered name of the chip. nicvf,
zipvf, ssovf, timvf are all multiple blocks on the device and previous
drivers were named that way. CPT is the similar name for the crypto
block. Jerin is planning for a common naming convention for the blocks
on the same family.
Different blocks would be named crypto_octeontx, event_octeontx etc, to
denote that they are all part of the same device. We had to omit the
space (between OCTEON & TX), since it would complicate the name for the
directories.
OcteonTX is a wrong convention. It would be fixed going ahead.
I suggest to add "crypto" to the name of this section.
This entry is already under "Crypto Drivers". So do we need a separate
mention of "crypto"?
