What you're basically trying to say is that you want a userland
interface to the crypto hardware, so that OpenSSL can take advatange
of it if it's present?

Allow me to repeat myself: "driver source does not constitute adequate
documentation. It helps, but it's neither sufficient nor necessary."
A 3.x driver *could* be ported forward to 4.x and 5.x, but the
required changes are not trivial (newbus, SMPng...) and you'd still
need sample boards for testing and debugging, and docs for reference
when you don't understand what the existing driver is trying to do.
