From cf514b2a5902ee4f93e9636ace5228fed27f23bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Elliott Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2022 13:41:50 -0500 Subject: crypto: Kconfig - simplify cipher entries Shorten menu titles and make them consistent: - acronym - name - architecture features in parenthesis - no suffixes like " algorithm", "support", or "hardware acceleration", or "optimized" Simplify help text descriptions, update references, and ensure that https references are still valid.
