FLib is a library which helps in making the descriptors which is 
understood by NXP's SEC hardware.
This patch provides header files for command words which can be used 
for descritptor formation.
It seems this code is old. Does it exist as a standalone library somewhere?
Where was it hosted before duplicating it in DPDK?

Why do you want to have a common directory drivers/common/dpaa2/flib instead of a sub-directory in the crypto driver?

[Akhil] This is not really a library. This is a set of header files which is required for compilation. We have 2 other cypto drivers (for different platforms viz: Non-DPAA and DPAA1_QORIQ) which uses the same flib. So we put it in common directory. We plan to send patches for other drivers in the upcoming releases. 
Please Akhil, could you answer to the three questions?
