That would be another patch but does not invalidate this one. mtd-utils
also uses other functions which are deprecated in OpenSSL >= 1.1.0:

OPENSSL_no_config
OpenSSL_add_all_digests
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms
EVP_cleanup
ERR_free_strings
ERR_load_crypto_strings

You can yield this list via compiling with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L.
