Did you mean to add Ard's Reviewed-by that he gave on v6 as well?
One comment about the v7 changes below:

This comment, along with the other similar ones you added, doesn't properly
describe the behavior when bytes < 16, as it's not mentioned that the extra
space needs to be before the pointed-to regions rather than after. That's the
most unusual part of these functions, so it really should be mentioned.
Separately, applying this patch and the previous one causes the following
whitespace errors to be reported:
Applying: crypto: arm64/aes-xctr: Add accelerated implementation of XCTR
.git/rebase-apply/patch:299: space before tab in indent.
