Re: [PATCH v3 0/7] crypto: aes - allow generic AES to be omitted

The generic AES driver uses 16 lookup tables of 1 KB each, and has
encryption and decryption routines that are fully unrolled. Given how
the dependencies between this code and other drivers are declared in
Kconfig files, this code is always pulled into the core kernel, even
if it is usually superseded at runtime by accelerated drivers that
exist for many architectures.

Why can't we simply replace aes-generic with aes-ti?
