Hi guys, I'm experiencing a strange issue when booting up u-boot on my older ezkit (red board, pre-1.0). Yesterday I updated u-boot and openocd to the 1.0.0.BR tag and build u-boot. I tried running u-boot on a 1.0 ezkit but found that the board was faulty. Then I went back to using the old ezki

Hi James, your commit d358f1abbf71 ("crypto: img-hash - Add Imagination Technologies hw hash accelerator") adds two selects on undefined Kconfig symbols, namely CRYPTO_ALG_API and CRYPTO_SHA224. The first symbols looks like a typo since there is an option CRYPTO_ALGAPI defined in crypto/Kconfig.
