I would prefer to leave it as it is, as it matches the function name in cryptodev, which is doing something similar.
However, I don't have an strong opinion on this. Maybe Fiona can break the tie? :)

It is set in dev_info->feature_flag.
As far as I know, this is not expected. HW_ACCELERATED should apply to the whole device.
The device will be either hardware or software. If it is hardware, but it uses software-based
Implementation for an algorithm, still the device is hardware.
