Hm, I think some of this code is just misplaced under drivers/crypto. All functions in 'drivers/crypto/chelsio/chcr_ipsec.c' implement networking (IPsec). So it should be under drivers/net, then it can be merged via the net or net-next tree as usual for network drivers. > Do xfrm offload drivers usually go through the networking tree or > would it be better directed through the xfrm tree? The drivers go through the networking trees, and I think it should stay like this. Otherwise we would create needless merge conflicts.
