What? I don't think that's true? I think
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_FSL_CAAM_DEBUG only controls "PRINT_POS", which is
unrelated?

The call path is:

drivers/crypto/caam/key_gen.c: gen_split_key()
append_fifo_load_as_imm(..., NULL, ...) <- literal NULL
append_cmd_data(..., data, ...)
memcpy(..., data, ...)

and doesn't seem affected at all by CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_FSL_CAAM_DEBUG.
