+Subject: [PATCH] openssl: fix dereferencing ambiguity potentially causing
+ build failure
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+When dereferencing from *aes_ctr_cipher, being a pointer itself,
+ambiguity can occur with compiler and build can fail reporting:
+openssl.c:574:20: error: ‘*aes_ctr_cipher’ is a pointer; did you mean to use ‘->’?
+     *aes_ctr_cipher->nid = type;
+
+Sorround every *aes_ctr_cipher-> occurence with paranthesis like this
+(*aes_ctr_cipher)->
