From d65409a9a0715562fca86e1c303be6f884e320e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shijith Thotton Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2021 23:44:20 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] doc: announce change in crypto adapter metadata In crypto adapter metadata, first 8 bytes of request info is a space holder for response info. For better clarity, reserved field should be removed from request info. New space for response info can be made by changing type of event crypto metadata to structure from union.
