Seems there's a dependency cycle b/w dpaa2_caam and caam{alg,hash}_desc, as follows:

A->B
---
dpaa2_caam needs cnstr_* exported by caam{alg,hash}_desc

B->A
---
caam{alg,hash}_desc need caam_imx, caam_little_end:
caam{hash,alg}_desc.c
	--> desc_constr.h (included for descriptors generation functions)
		--> regs.h (included for endianness helpers)
			--> extern bool caam_imx, caam_little_end
caam_imx, caam_little_end are exported by dpaa2_caam - caamalg_qi2.c (when
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_FSL_CAAM=n)

Could we drop this patch, until CAAM driver gets a proper fix (which is not
straightforward)?

Thanks,
