I got the following:

[    1.086228] alg: akcipher: encrypt test failed. Invalid output
[    1.092196] 00000000: 6e 7c 8a 75 e7 30 80 d1 5e ab 9b db a2 cf ed db
[    1.098882] 00000010: c9 b2 db 43 bd 9a b9 75 27 f3 73 d9 73 b7 81 8c
[    1.105524] 00000020: 49 e8 45 fc 43 44 f5 6d f0 f7 b8 f2 ae 6b ae 49
[    1.112090] 00000030: 1b 8e 50 c6 88 4e 99 09 78 14 f2 5d 99 c3 7f f9
[    1.118747] alg: akcipher: test 1 failed for rsa-generic, err=-22
(Exactly the output of my hardare and openssl test)

So the problem is just that my hardware does not handle non-padded data.

Thanks
