Subject: [PATCH 23/38] crypto: drbg - Remove drbg_core
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 23:34:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420063422.324906-24-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420063422.324906-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

Now that none of the information in struct drbg_core is used, remove it.

The null-ity of the pointer drbg_state::core was used to keep track of
whether the DRBG has been instantiated.  Replace it with a boolean.

No functional change.
