Check the value fetched from the SEC Status Register (SSTA) (Offset 0xFD4h, bit 8,9 => 00b - Non-Secure, 01b - Secure, 10b - Trusted, 11b - Fail), for MOO (Mode of Operation).
And the warning can be issued accordingly.

It is to be noted that this register is part of CAAM page0, which might not be accessible to Linux, for all the iMX SoC(s).

For other SoC(s), this can be added.
