No, there is no dependency on Linux kernel crypto tests. You can enable or disable them and cryptodev driver will still work. > > I have tried executing an openssl command by installing cryptodev.ko > module both by enabling and disabling Disable run-time self tests from > "make menuconfig" Openssl commands have no dependency on Linux kernel crypto tests either. > When I disabled it I was not able to see any logs from Crypto HW > engine driver ,but when I selected or enabled the option I was able to > see the debug statements. I'm not sure what you saw. The first time you execute a Linux crypto algorithm, Linux crypto API will run the tests (if enabled) on that algorithm. You will probably see something on dmesg. This is regardless of the method that executed the algorithm. In your case, openssl will try to see what algorithms are available in the kernel and that will trigger the tests. You may see that the tests are triggered also by algorithm module loading. This is the way Linux crypto behaves. It has nothing to do with cryptodev or openssl.
