In the crypto API, the drivers are listed.
In my opinion, it is a wrong designed and these lists should be removed.
Do we need a deprecation notice to plan this removal in 17.05, while
working on bus abstraction?

Yes
If you were planning to do this, you should have sent a deprecation notice
few weeks ago.
Please send it now and we'll see if we have enough supporters shortly.
Thomas, there are a couple of other changes we are looking at in the
cryptodev which would require API changes as well as break ABI including
adding support for a multi-device sessions, and changes to crypto
operation layout and field changes for performance but these but will
require RFCs or at least more discussion of the proposals. Given the
time constrains for the V1 deadline for 17.05 I would prefer to work on
the RFCs and get them out as soon as possible over the next few weeks
and then make all the ABI breaking changes in R17.08 in a single release.
Otherwise we will end up breaking ABI 2 release in a row which I would
like to avoid if possible.
