[PATCHv2 1/6] crypto: trivial comment improvements

From: <hidden>
Date: 2006-09-02 01:00:45
Subsystem: device-mapper (lvm), the rest · Maintainers: Alasdair Kergon, Mike Snitzer, Mikulas Patocka, Benjamin Marzinski, Linus Torvalds

From: Rik Snel <redacted>

Just some minor comment nits.

- little-endian is better than low-endian
- and since it is called essiv everywere it should also be essiv
  in the comments (and not ess_iv)
