====================
I may admit that the title of this series is not the best one as it
contains straightforward cleanups and code that converts flags to
something less confusing.
This series follows removal of FPGA IPsec code from the mlx5 driver and
based on net-next commit 4950b6990e ("Merge branch
'ocelot-vcap-cleanups'").
As such, first two patches delete code that was used by mlx5 FPGA code
but isn't needed anymore.
Third patch is simple struct rename.
Rest of the patches separate user's provided flags variable from
driver's
usage. This allows us to created more simple in-kernel interface, that
supports type checking without blending different properties into one
variable. It is achieved by converting flags to specific bitfield
variables
with clear, meaningful names.
Such change allows us more clear addition of new input flags needed to
mark IPsec offload type.
The followup code uses this extensively:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
