> It is planned to remove device type enumeration rte_cryptodev_type from
> library to remove the coupling between crypto PMD and the librte_cryptodev.

> In this case following stuctures will be changed: rte_cryptodev_session,
> rte_cryptodev_sym_session, rte_cryptodev_info, rte_cryptodev.

> It is planned to change the function rte_cryptodev_count_devtype().
> The function prototype doesn’t clearly show the operation.
> From next release 17.08 the dev_type will be changed to driver_id.
> So the function name will change to rte_cryptodev_device_count_by_driver().
