How many such symbols are there. I don’t they will be many. Can they be
Passed as argument in the APIs to avoid build dependencies.

Yes, rte_eth* symbols should not be there in crypto driver.
Because crypto driver is not leveraging any ethernet functionality,
It is the other way, ethernet device is using the crypto functionality/
Structs etc for supporting inline IPSEC.

Also, the security ctx should be part of ethdev  and its ops should be
Defined in ethernet device which may call some inline APIs placed in
Drivers/crypto/octeontx2/

Breaking the way an API need to be defined and used is even more uglier.
IMO, having fat inline functions will act as external library functions which
Are independent of the device which is calling it.
Something similar to drivers/common/dpaax/caamflib/.

My original suggestion was to put it in common, but I am ok, if you want that
In the crypto driver. I agree with the decision that all crypto/ipsec related stuff
Should be there under drivers/crypto if it is getting used from both the net and
Crypto driver. But atleast the API definitions should be there where it should be.
