Changes look good with minor suggestions.

suggest to s/{@code CipherSpi} object/{@code CipherSpi} implementation, 
consistent with other places.

src/java.base/share/classes/javax/crypto/Cipher.java line 609:

Suggest to s/from the/from the specified, and to make the same changes in this 
method at lines #567 and #568, s/the specified provider/the specified {@code 
provider}.

same suggestion as above.

same suggestion as above.
