## Summary
All six patches in this series are correct. The series addresses a security vulnerability (Bugzilla 1773) by replacing timing-unsafe `memcmp()` calls with `rte_memeq_timingsafe()` in cryptographic verification code paths across multiple drivers. The patches are well-structured, properly documented, and follow DPDK coding standards.
The first patch promotes `rte_memeq_timingsafe()` from experimental to stable API, which is appropriate given its use in these security-critical fixes. The subsequent patches apply the timing-safe comparison to digest/MAC verification in five different crypto drivers, preventing timing side-channel attacks where `memcmp()` would leak information through early-return behavior.
All patches:
- Include proper commit messages with Bugzilla ID, Fixes tags, and Cc: stable
- Use the correct API (`rte_memeq_timingsafe()`) for cryptographic comparisons
- Maintain consistent code style
- Are appropriately scoped (one logical change per patch)
