Thanks. I've applied this patch with the commit message changed to the
following, to add a bit more information about the failure this is
fixing:

crypto: caam: use dma_alloc_coherent instead of dma_alloc

dma_alloc return non-coherent memory, but the driver does no cache
maintenance on the buffer, causing memory corruption. Fix this by
requesting coherent memory for the DMA transfer.

Fixes: ef4144b4ab63 (crypto: caam - fix RNG buffer cache alignment)
