Huh, so this driver just ignored the key? Is anyone using the ChaCha20Poly1305
support in this driver? Based on this bug existing, that seems unlikely. If
that's the case, wouldn't it be better just to remove the ChaCha20Poly1305
support from this driver so that the code doesn't need to be maintained?
