The new crypto API use causes some problems with Kconfig dependencies,
including this link error:

The problem is that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, we must not 'select CRYPTO_LZ4'
from a bool symbol, or call crypto API functions from a built-in
module.
This turns the sub-options into 'tristate' ones so the dependencies
are honored, and makes the pstore itself select the crypto core
if necessary.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
