I have never heard of his name, but

If so, yes.

My basic policy in importing a file form Linux, as far as lib/crypto/*.c is
concerned, is not to modify the original code unless it's harmful but to add
"#ifndef __UBOOT__" to exclude useless or never-used code so that someone else
other than me can easily synchronize files again in the future.

So even if it looks weird (and checkpatch.pl, which ironically comes from
Linux as well, might raise warnings), I'd like to leave it as it is.

Having said that, if maintainers have a different policy, I don't hesitate
to follow it.

Thanks,
-Takahiro Akashi
