Thanks to let me know the background. Please be aware that there is fundamental difference between dependency in INF and dependency in DSC.
What we have previously in the ArmPkg in *DSC*. We don’t need add ArmPkg in yaml. However, what you try to introduce is ArmPkg in *INF*, e.g. your patch v5 5/6. Then we have to add ArmPkg in yaml. Personally, I don’t think it is a good idea to add ArmPkg to yaml, because it means that you have to pull ArmPkg when you build CryptoPkg,. As long as what you add is industry standard, it is OK to add to MdePkg, like what you did in v2. I would like to suggest this approach. But I would like to have ARM expert to check if those are really ARM standard, and also have MdePkg owner check if it is acceptable.
