Only one is available in the kernel, kernel/drivers/crypto/talitios.c.

The other one is part of OCF,  and OCF is not part of the linux kernel :-)

The OCF version of the talitos driver was written before linux had adequate
HW crypto support,  but now it does and a rtalitos driver has been written
for and accepted into the kernel.

Hope that helps :-)
