> In crypto adapter metadata, reserved bytes in request info structure is
> a space holder for response info. It enforces an order of operation if
> the structures are updated using memcpy to avoid overwriting response
> info. It is logical to move the reserved space out of request info. It
> also solves the ordering issue mentioned before.
> 
> This patch removes the reserve field from request info and makes event
> crypto metadata type to structure from union to make space for response
> info.
> 
> App and drivers are updated as per metadata change.
