Qouting from our previous discussion in U-boot:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20200602150904.1997-1-michael@xxxxxxxx/#2457448

"
Based on previous (NXP-internal) discussions, non-E crypto module is:
-fully disabled on: LS1021A (ARMv7), LS1043A, LS1088A, LS2088A
(and their personalities)
-partially [*] disabled on: LS1012A, LS1028A, LS1046A, LX2160A
(and their personalities)
"

>From the partially disabled list, LS1028A and LX2160A have CAAM Era 10,
while LS1012A and LS1046A integrate CAAM Era 8.
