From 784506a1df57737fc8460fd644b30ac8fecaedf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 19:02:30 +0100 Subject: crypto: serpent - get rid of obsolete tnepres variant It is not trivial to trace back why exactly the tnepres variant of serpent was added ~17 years ago - Google searches come up mostly empty, but it seems to be related with the 'kerneli' version, which was based on an incorrect interpretation of the serpent spec. In other words, nobody is likely to care anymore today, so let's get rid of it.
