[PATCH v3 12/17] crypto: Kconfig - simplify CRC entries
From: Robert Elliott
Date: Sat Aug 20 2022 - 14:43:20 EST
Shorten menu titles and make them consistent:
- acronym
- name
- architecture features in parenthesis
- no suffixes like "<something> algorithm", "support", or
"hardware acceleration", or "optimized"
Simplify help text descriptions, update references, and ensure that
https references are still valid.
