[PATCH 0/5] crypto: Drop stale usages in various help texts

From: Geert Uytterhoeven

Hi all,

This patch series drops stale references to subsystems that are using
various crypto algoritms. It was triggered by "make oldconfig" in
v7.0-rc1 showing new prompts about BLAKE2b, SHA-256, xxHash, and CRC32c
algorithms. When querying these symbols, the corresponding help texts
incorrectly claim they are used by btrfs.

Notw that even if correct, there is no need for such references, as all
users should select the needed symbols anyway.

Geert Uytterhoeven (5):
crypto: Drop stale CRYPTO_BLAKE2B usage
crypto: Drop stale CRYPTO_SHA256 usage
crypto: Drop stale CRYPTO_XXHASH usage
crypto: Drop stale CRYPTO_CRC32C usage
crypto: Drop stale CRYPTO_CRC32 usage

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
