Aquantia Atlantic MACsec helper code

Support code for hardware-accelerated MACsec link encryption on Aquantia (now Marvell) Atlantic-family multi-gigabit Ethernet controllers, such as the AQC107 10GBASE-T NICs found in workstations and high-end consumer boards. It is part of the larger Atlantic NIC driver rather than a separate piece of hardware support.

recommendation

This is not a standalone driver; it is a subdirectory inside the Aquantia Atlantic Ethernet NIC driver that holds the MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE link-layer encryption) offload helper code used by the parent driver. It lives or dies with the Atlantic driver itself and should not be evaluated as its own component.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: subdirectory of the Aquantia Atlantic NIC driver containing MACsec support/helper code, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
