Subject: select on non-existing Kconfig option CRC32C

Hi Hendrik,

your patch "s390/crc32-vx: add crypto API module for optimized CRC-32
algorithms" showed up in linux-next today (next-20160615) as commit 	364148e0b195.

The patch defines the Kconfig option CRYPTO_CRC32_S390 which 'select's CRC32C.
However, this should probably have been CRYPTO_CRC32C, as CRC32C does not exist.
Should I prepare a trivial patch to fix this up or would you like to do that on
your side?

I found this issue by comparing yesterday's tree and today's tree using
'scripts/checkkconfigsymbols -f -d next-20160614..next-20160615'.

Best regards,

Andreas
