"Google engineer Eric Biggers requested the inclusion of Speck in Kernel
4.17

The idea of knowingly using any nsa provided encryption in dm-crypt as an
end
user is scary.

any kernel version starting with 4.20 is without speck again
(https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nsa-speck-removed-linux-4-20,37747.html).
