   - 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.
   - Functions ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session()`` and
     ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_dettach_sym_session()`` will be deprecated from
     18.05 and removed in 18.08, as there are no drivers doing anything useful
