The upstream qce crypto driver does not support the IPQ806x series.
The ipq806x target used to host ipq40xx, so this driver was enabled as
builtin back then.
But since ipq40xx moved out, it's has become a symbol of "hope"....
That maybe some day
the NSS support of the IPQ806x can make use of it....

So yeah, if you want to crush the hopes and dreams of the IPQ806X users,
you can disable/remove the driver for the ipq806x target.
