I don't get your point here.

The purpose of __UBOOT__ is to distinguish my changes from the original
code that was imported from linux. I believe that it would make
it much easier to catch up and apply the following commits in linux.
Since there is no explicit custodian for lib/crypto, it is crucial
to keep such a maintenance effort as simple as possible.

I adopted this style of import also in other files under lib/crypto.
