The FlexSparc crypto poll mode driver (BCMFS PMD) provides support for offloading
-cryptographic operations to the Broadcom SoCs having FlexSparc4/FlexSparc5 unit.

Installation
------------
To execute BCMFS PMD, it must be compiled with VFIO_PRESENT flag on the
compiling platform and same gets enabled in rte_vfio.h.
-The BCMFS crypto PMD may be compiled natively on a Stingray/Stingray2 platform or
+The BCMFS PMD may be compiled natively on a Stingray platform or
cross-compiled on an x86 platform. For example, below commands can be executed
for cross compiling on x86 platform.
Limitations
-----------
-* Only supports the session-oriented API implementation (session-less APIs are not supported).
-* CCM is not supported on Broadcom`s SoCs having FlexSparc4 unit.
+* The session-oriented APIs are supported but the session-less APIs are not.
+* CCM is not supported.
