Hi Brijesh and thank you for your reply,

yes, I could solve the issue by setting CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_CCP=y

Because at some point I got quiet desperate for not finding anything
useful on google, I wrote a small blog post - hopefully others with
similar problems can use the workaround as well.

Thank for your advice and have a nice day,
Greets,
Felix
