Please start submitting chcr patches to the crypto subsystem, where it

Hi Dave:
I think this patch belongs to the networking tree. The reason is
that it's related to xfrm offload which has nothing to do with the
Crypto API.
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.
Ok,
We have started the work towards shifting inline ipsec, nic tls & chtls
code present in drivers/crypto/chelsio/ into
drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/. Only co-processor code will exist in the
drivers/crypto/chelsio directory.
Thanks,
Ayush
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.
