Subject: Re: [PATCH v9 crypto 02/12] ethtool: enable Inline TLS in HW

Since you're saying the driver supports offloading TLS records to the
HW, why not call the feature "record offloading"?  With, for example,
NETIF_F_HW_TLS_RECORD as the feature, and maybe "tls-hw-record" for
the ethtool string.  This "Inline TLS" name sounds rather like
marketing to me.

There should be a description here of what the feature covers, so that
other drivers can decide if it matches what their HW supports.
