IIUC The following patches will have to wait for the v6.15 cycle?

[PATCH v10 9/15] soc: qcom: ice: make qcom_ice_program_key() take
struct blk_crypto_key
[PATCH v10 10/15] blk-crypto: add basic hardware-wrapped key support
[PATCH v10 11/15] blk-crypto: show supported key types in sysfs
[PATCH v10 12/15] blk-crypto: add ioctls to create and prepare
hardware-wrapped keys
[PATCH v10 13/15] fscrypt: add support for hardware-wrapped keys
[PATCH v10 14/15] soc: qcom: ice: add HWKM support to the ICE driver
[PATCH v10 15/15] ufs: qcom: add support for wrapped keys
