[Arek] The problem with this solution is that we need to allocate memory.
So the question is how to handle unlikely case of malloc error when we operate inside void function rte_cryptodev_info_get?
And even if we would pass somehow error condition to the caller then what to do is another question.

[Arek] - Yes, it is error path but on the other hand we explicitly specify what value we will return when calling
rte_cryptodev_sym_session_init so caller may expect EINVAL when wrong algorithm value selected (usually it probably will be ENOTSUP).
In this case when setting 3 (LIST_END) on 19.11 app and linking against 20.02 (assuming with Chacha) shared build, caller would get success on return and fully set chacha session,
which will probably result in undefined behavior.
So shouldn't this function be versioned as well then?

Regards,
Arek
