interesting.

in the git history, some functions take IN/OUT macro.

-VOID AES_GTK_KEY_UNWRAP(IN UCHAR * key,
-                       OUT UCHAR * plaintext,
-                       IN UINT32 c_len, IN UCHAR * ciphertext)

so they had driver for other os at first, and ported that one to Linux later ?
