Re: [PATCH] crypto: caam: map job ring registers without claiming region

From: Richard Leitner

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 08:47:07 EST


Hi everybody,

just a friendly reminder that this patch is now on the mailing list for
14 days and was not included in the 2 rc's which were released since then.

As this essentially breaks CAAM on multiple i.MX SoC variants, is there
any possibility to get this included in v7.3-rc4?

Would be great :-)

Thanks!

regards;rl
