mtk have this patch - 24.10/files/target/linux/mediatek/patches-6.6/999-2700-crypto-add-eip197-inside-secure-support-for-kernel-6.6.patch - openwrt/feeds/mtk-openwrt-feeds - Gitiles
you can see they force the load of the firmware and a few more things … now this for 6.6 unsure if safexcel code changed for 6.18 but doubt …
followed the code and firmware is loaded after the point where my probe flow exits
safexcel_probe => safexcel_probe_generic (exit at beginning because of version=0) => (nearly at the end) safexcel_hw_init => (nearly at the end) eip197_load_firmwares
so the changed code is not reached in my case…could it be because i have builtin driver and firmware?
i always load it as a module … let me try your 6.18 repo
btw … probably the 6.18-crypto is not ready to load via the emmc …

have you added any patches? afair i had nothing (also not crypto-node) in my 6.17, and yours look same
regarding emmc, looks right and also the emmc-overlay looks correct…also it is same in 6.17-main, so strange that emmc is not detected in 6.18-rc
btw. tested 6.18-rc and my emmc is detected, but somehow i got trace because of devtmpfs

for the 6.17-main i added the crypto-safexcel patches (it seems the same as the ones you applied to 6.18 …you can compare my repo dts + safexcel crypto driver
I changed to module and now the version=0 issue is gone. I get not same output like you yesterday with 6.17 (safexcel init in dmesg and /proc/crypto).
I managed to get the interrupts incrementing by enabling the afalg

Can you compare blocks processes by openssl with and without cryptodev?
as i said on another thread I am not using cryptodev as it is not included on the kernel … i really don’t know how you managed to have it on your setup … also one will need to compile openssl with devcrypto which is not by default anymore i don’t think
