Can we remove all these types and names in the generic crypto API?


Hello Thomas,

I added another PMD type and therefore we need new, unique number for
it. I'm not sure if I understand correctly what you mean here, so please
elaborate.

My comment is not specific to your PMD.
I think there is something wrong in the design of cryptodev if we need
to update rte_cryptodev.h each time a new driver is added.
There is no such thing in ethdev.


Hey Thomas, I've been meaning to have a look at removing this enum, I just haven't had the time as yet, I think since there is now a standard naming convention for all pmds, the use for this is redundant.

This change will require a ABI/API deprecation notice, so I'll put that into 17.02 and then do the patches to remove for 17.05
