Hi Herbert,

this series is a follow up to commit 5d26a105b5a7 ("crypto: prefix
module autoloading with "crypto-""). In patch 1 it adds the required
MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO annotation where needed to bring back automatic
crypto module loading. Namely, modules that have a file name matching
the cipher they implement still need the MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO()
annotation. Otherwise they won't get loaded.

Patches 2 to 6 fix bogus module descriptions or aliases with the
exception of patch 4 which adds a missing crypto module alias.

At least patch 1 should go to crypto-2.6 to not regress the crypto API
for v3.19 in regard to automatic module loading.
Patch 1 applied to crypto and the rest to cryptodev.  Thanks a lot!
