Hi Stephen,

Yes, You're right. I'm making a new patch for improving in crypto device to solve this issue. And the modification has already worked in our cases.
Anyway, I will upload the patch soon and will mark the status of this patch to Superseded. Thanks.

Brs,
Yang Ming

There is was a reason for calling cleanup on shutdown.
It looks like more of a bug in the crypto device not the EAL.


Freebsd and Windows also calls eal_bus_cleanup.
