If this issue was brought up by h/w, the appropriate new error codes
should be being introduced.

Otherwise, I'm assuming it was brought up by a static code analyser,
which technically could be ignored, but...

why remove the comment? It's still valid.

This is simpler:

diff --git a/drivers/crypto/caam/error.c b/drivers/crypto/caam/error.c
