On this kernel version, those modules set to Y will not use the sha512 algorithm.
And our SEC module selects it "select CRYPTO_SHA512", so it is compiled into
ko: "sha512_generic.ko".
Because we did not load the "sha512_generic.ko" when we loaded the ko of SEC,
the sha512 algorithm test failed, Therefore, before using SEC,
we need to load this ko first, so this patch is not required, please ignore it.
Thanks
