Subject: [PATCH v1 3/3] macsec: add user manual description for extended packet number feature
From: Emeel Hakim <ehakim@...dia.com>
Update the user manual describing how to use extended packet number (XPN) feature for macsec. As part of configuring XPN, providing ssci and salt is required hence update user manual on how to provide the above as part of the ip macsec command.
