<sram@broadcom.com> with the following comment:
[...] We have implemented failover (ie, if for some reason that the
hardware fails, the implementation detects this failure and performs
this operation as if no hardware is present, ie, in software) for
sometime now and have tested it here with our hardware. [...]
This change was cc:ed to exports@crypto.com
BCM5805 and BCM5820 units. So far I've merely taken a skim over the code
and changed a few things from their original contributed source
(de-shadowing variables, removing variables from the header, and
re-constifying some functions to remove warnings). If this gives
compilation problems on any system, please let me know. We will hopefully
know for sure whether this actually functions on a system with the relevant
hardware in a day or two. :-)
