> [Akhil] This is not really a library. This is a set of header files which is required for compilation. We have 2 other cypto drivers (for different platforms viz: Non-DPAA and DPAA1_QORIQ) which uses the same flib. So we put it in common directory. We plan to send patches for other drivers in the upcoming releases. 

Please Akhil, could you answer to the three questions?
