Hi Ahmad,

I have tested the patch-set.
It is working as expected even when CAAM is compiled as kernel module.

>    Udit Agarwal added[2] a new "secure" key type with the CAAM as backend.
>    The key material stays within the kernel only.
>    Mimi and James agreed that this needs a generic interface, not specific
>    to CAAM. Mimi suggested trusted keys. Jan noted that this could serve as
>    basis for TEE-backed keys.
> 
>  - [RFC] drivers: crypto: caam: key: Add caam_tk key type
>    Franck added[3] a new "caam_tk" key type based on Udit's work. This time
>    it uses CAAM "black blobs" instead of "red blobs", so key material stays
>    within the CAAM and isn't exposed to kernel in plaintext.
>    James voiced the opinion that there should be just one user-facing generic
>    wrap/unwrap key type with multiple possible handlers.
>    David suggested trusted keys.
> 
>  - Introduce TEE based Trusted Keys support
>    Sumit reworked[4] trusted keys to support multiple possible backends with
>    one chosen at boot time and added a new TEE backend along with TPM.
>    This now sits in Jarkko's master branch to be sent out for v5.13
> 
> This patch series builds on top of Sumit's rework to have the CAAM as yet
> another trusted key backend.
> 
> The CAAM bits are based on Steffen's initial patch from 2015. His work had
> been used in the field for some years now, so I preferred not to deviate too
> much from it.

> This series has been tested with dmcrypt[5] on an i.MX6Q/DL and an
