Understood, thanks!
Unrelated question: I have my Keem Bay OCS ECC patchset [1] almost
ready for re-submission. Should I go ahead or should I wait for the
final decision about using 'ecdh-nist-pXXX' in place of 'ecdh'?
Also, I guess I'll have to drop P-384 support from the driver, since
the are no in-kernel user AFAIK.
