The code is there, but it does not do much. Essentially the behavior is the same as without the code. Yes. it is test booted but not extensively on all platforms/configurations. However this code is blindly enabling pkey subsystem without referring to the device tree. I have fixed this patch series to add that additional patch. In that patch series, I place all the code without enabling the subsystem. The last patch actually fires it up, depending on availability of the feature as told by the device-tree.
