> Using crypto devs requires the user to log in and the supplied DEK to be
> encrypted with a KEK (keys encryption key).
> KEK is burned once on the nic, along with credentials for users,
> and for a user to log in, he is needed to supply his creds wrapped with
> the KEK.
> A device comes out of the Mellanox factory with a pre-defined import
> method for each algorithm. The defined method could be wrapped
> mode, so the device can be used as described above, or
> plaintext mode, without the need to log in and wrap supplied DEKs.
> 
> Support crypto operations with the plaintext import method.

You should mention v2 in the subject of the patch and also add changelog from v1.
I see that the patch1 of previous series is merged into patch2.
