That did it.
I really couldn't find this info anywhere...
Do you know why openssl uses the hardware engine only for 128bit aes keys?
using -evp aes-192-cbc and -evp aes-256-cbc falls back on the software
engine, thou /proc/crypto reads
name         : cbc(aes)
driver       : mv-cbc-aes
module       : mv_cesa
priority     : 300
refcnt       : 1
selftest     : passed
type         : ablkcipher
async        : yes
blocksize    : 16
min keysize  : 16
max keysize  : 32
which makes me think (together with the driver source) that the CESA engine
supports 256bit keys...

Cheers,

Luca
