RTE_CRYPTO_AEAD_LIST_END will be removed to prevent some problems
that may arise when adding new algorithms.
How does it cohabitate with Ferruh notice?
Is it a complement? or redundant?

Thanks for drawing attention to this.
It's complementary as far as I can see.
Ferruh's doesn't list all enums - but doesn’t appear to cover these crypto ones.
I feel we can have this deprecation notice as well for crypto specific enums.
Though I don’t want to push it if somebody has objections on this.
I am OK if Ferruh's notice looks enough to cover crypto enums as well.

If no objections, Thomas or you can pick this directly on master.
I think Ferruh notice would be enough, except it focus on "MAX" values,
not including the similar ones with "END" in their names.

Anyway, too much notices don't hurt.
