Hi Jerin, Abhinandan,
Overall the patch looks good.
But one comment on block diagram for OP_NEW mode functioning.
The comment was also made on previous version but it looks the intent 
was misunderstood.

I think the sequence should be as follows:
[1] Application dequeues from the previous stage.
[2] Application prepare for enqueue to cryptodev
[3] Application enqueues to cryptodev
[4] Crypto adapter dequeues crypto completions from cryptodev.
[5] Crypto adapter enqueues events to the eventdev.
[6] Application dequeues from eventdev and prepare for further processing.

So the Block diagram should be something like

+ *                +--------------+         +--------------+
+ *                |              |         | Crypto stage |
