Hello Anthony,
 So if I understand correctly that was a driver issue that has now
been solved in 3.8, or the problem still persists?

Cryptodev could work-around driver issues if needed but if the problem
is already solved in 3.8 I don't think that there is any need for
action. We may need to document the issue though.

regards,
Nikos
