[PATCH -stable] arm: crypto: reduce priority of bit-sliced AES cipher

2017-11-17 Thread Eric Biggers
Hi, I'd like the following patch to be applied to stable for versions between 4.1 and 4.10 (inclusively). This is a minimal fix for a bug where arm32 kernels can use a much slower implementation of AES than is actually available, potentially forcing vendors to disable encryption on their devices.
