I don't feel confident (enough) that I could 'pull that off', especially since 
it would effectively be a new patch set, which would likely not get the same 
level of review/testing as the original one got.
It would also (effectively) add new functionality as the crypto engine (at 
least on rk3328 and rk3399) did not work previously as among others they don't 
have the crypto node in the dts files.

So I think it's better that the (new) patch set does not get applied to the 
6.1 Stable release (series).

The reason I raised my initial question was because I did test (and provided 
my Tested-By to) the patch set as a whole, not any single patch in isolation.
