David, thanks for taking time to fix these.

IIUC, yes, the Crypto API requires ->info to be updated.

Dan, Radu,

IIRC, you've hit smth. similar while testing CAAM on i.MX.
Could you please review David's fix, compare it with yours, so in the
end we would choose the one that fits best?

Dan, Radu - have you seen this on i.MX?

Nothing else crosses my mind right now, but I'd like to sleep on it.
