That's the whole point of cra_driver_name.  Consider the case
of someone who has a higher priority version of AES available,
e.g., padlock or an async device.  If they want to specify the
assembly version of AES then they would use cbc(aes-asm).  Just
as they would use cbc(aes-generic) to select the C version.
