Both the i.MX8MQ and i.MX8M Mini support the CAAM driver, but it
is currently not enabled by default.

This patch enables this driver by default.

So do the Layerscape ARMv8-based SoCs:
LS1012A, LS1028A, LS1043A, LS1046A, LS1088A, LS2088A, LX2160A

This should probably be "m" instead.

Out of curiosity, what is the rule for when things are 'm' vs 'y'?

In the Code Aurora repo, it is set to 'y' and the mainline kernel for
the i.MX6/7, the imx_v6_v7_defconfig is also set to 'y' which is why I
used 'y' here.

I can do a V3 to address the other items you noted, but I want to
understand the rules about the defconfig so I don't make the same
mistake again.

thanks,

In arch/arm64/configs/defconfig we try to select modules whenever possible.

The exceptions are drivers that are vital for boot such as PMIC,
pinctrl, clks, etc.

The CAAM driver does not fall into this category, so selecting it as
module is preferred here.

Thanks

That makes sense.  Thank you for the clarification.  I'll keep that in
mind if I submit future updates.

One comment here though.

CAAM's RNG is not "vital" for booting, but IIUC it would decrease the boot time
since it feeds the entropy pool through the hwrng interface.

Once RNG driver is fixed, would it be acceptable to add:
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_FSL_CAAM=y
in arm64 defconfig?

Thanks,
Horia
