Thanks for diagnosing the problem. This is easy to fix though,
we could simply reuse the static branch that was created for
boot-time self-testing:
---8<---
When the Crypto API is built into the kernel, it may be invoked
during system initialisation before modules can be loaded. Ensure
that it doesn't load modules if this is the case by checking
crypto_boot_test_finished().
Add a call to wait_for_device_probe so that the drivers that may
call into the Crypto API have finished probing.
