As I mentioned on the previous version of this patchset, I think mentions of
"fscrypt" should generally be avoided at the driver level.  Drivers don't know
or care who is using block layer functionality.  It's better to think of the
sw_secret support as simply one of the requirements for hardware-wrapped keys,
alongside the other ones such as support for import_key, prepare_key, etc.

The SW secret isn't used for inline encryption.  It's actually the opposite; the
SW secret is used only for tasks that can't use inline encryption.

The second sentence above seems to be saying the same as the first.

Is @secret_size really the "maximum size of the secret that is derived"?  That
would imply that a shorter secret might be derived.  But if the return value is
0 on success, then there is no way for callers to know what length was derived.

Can't the semantics be "derive exactly secret_size bytes"?  That would make much
more sense.

These "return -ENODEV" stubs don't exist in the latest kernel.  Can you make
sure that you've developing on top of the latest kernel?  It looks like you
based this patchset on top of my patchset
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/fscrypt.git/log/?h=wrapped-keys-v2.
But I had already sent out a newer version of it, based on v5.16-rc1:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/fscrypt.git/log/?h=wrapped-keys-v4.
So please make sure you're using the most recent version.
