Re: [dpdk-dev] [EXT] [dpdk-dev v2] crypto/snow3g: add support for digest appended ops

["Zhang, Roy Fan" <roy.fan.zhang@intel.com>]

Hi Akhil,

This is a required feature from our customer. So could you help us merging it? 

And we do not plan to remove this PMD - just put it to a new folder with common code shared for all SW Intel-ipsec-mb based PMDs.
From the user point of view everything will be the same including the EAL commands and the ways of accessing the driver.
And sure the changes in this patch will be moved to new place then.

Regards,
Fan
