Hello Kirill,
This needs
Fixes: c055e3eae0f1 ("crypto: xor - use ktime for template benchmarking")
Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel <a...@kernel.org>
However, I do suspect there is something odd going on here - surely,
it takes time to run these benchmarks, and so a min value of 0x0
suggests that something is broken. So perhaps it is better to simply
set speed to 0x0 in this case as well, and let the calibration routine
pick one an implementation arbitrarily.
