crypto: replace broken libkcapi link in Crypto API documentation

[PATCH] crypto: replace broken libkcapi link in Crypto API documentation

Posted by Paul Louvel via B4 Relay 3 weeks, 3 days ago

From: Paul Louvel <paul.louvel@bootlin.com>

The "User Space Interface" section of the Crypto API documentation
contains a link to the libkcapi project that no longer works.

Update the link to point to the correct upstream location so that
users can access the library documentation.

Hi,
Either link works for me (with the same content).
Could it be browser-dependent?

Hi,

I have just checked this morning on the same browser, and indeed, it works.
It was broken for the past few days.
Please ignore this patch then.

Regards,
Paul.
