Description
We are carrying drivers for a few bits of crypto hardware which do not make sense on current systems. Either due to lack of support on non-EOL hardware or due to low bus speeds which would degrade performance should they be enabled.
These include:
- ubsec
- Hifn
- VIA Padlock
- Safe
Drivers for these should be removed, along with any code in the repo which allows them to be selected, detects them and reports their presence, etc.
