[dpdk-dev,v3,2/4] doc: announce ABI change for crypto info struct
Checks
Commit Message
Cryptodev info structure currently contains
a pointer to an rte_pci_device structure.
This field depends on a specific bus type (PCI),
which is not following a bus independent design.
Following the same approach taken in ethdev, the field
will be replaced with a pointer to an rte_device structure.

- Removal of ``sym`` structure in ``rte_cryptodev_info`` structure,
containing fields not relevant anymore since the session mempool
is not internal in the crypto device anymore.
+ - Replacement of ``pci_dev`` field with the more generic ``rte_device``
+ structure.
