It seems this code is old. Does it exist as a standalone library somewhere?
Where was it hosted before duplicating it in DPDK?

Why do you want to have a common directory drivers/common/dpaa2/flib instead of a sub-directory in the crypto driver?

[Akhil] This is not really a library. This is a set of header files which is required for compilation. We have 2 other cypto drivers (for different platforms viz: Non-DPAA and DPAA1_QORIQ) which uses the same flib. So we put it in common directory. We plan to send patches for other drivers in the upcoming releases.
