Yes that's the idea.

It is the customary place in the crypto tree.

Good catch.  But I think this was deliberate as it also includes
a non-NEON implementation:

    crypto: arm/chacha - remove dependency on generic ChaCha driver
    
    Instead of falling back to the generic ChaCha skcipher driver for
    non-SIMD cases, use a fast scalar implementation for ARM authored
    by Eric Biggers. This removes the module dependency on chacha-generic
    altogether, which also simplifies things when we expose the ChaCha
    library interface from this module.

Without them Kconfig will bomb out because of a loop centering
on CONFIG_CRYPTO.
