How to enable CAAM in MCIMX6UL-EVK

[ko-hey]

Hi all

My customer want to test a CAAM function in i.MX6UL.
Because they plan to use the CAAM as a encription engine of openssl.

they tried to test CAAM by reference to following thread.
https://community.nxp.com/message/447685
Also they checked kernel configuration, libaf_alg and boot parameters.
However, the CAAM didn't work.

Can user test the CAAM function with MCIMX6UL-EVK ?
If yes, could you let me know how to test the CAAM in MCIMX6UL-EVK.

Here is their test environment

Board: MCIMX6UL-EVK
BPS: L4.1.15

Also you can see the CAAM hardware accelerate the ssh guide in BSP document i.MX_Linux_User's_Guide.pdf, which is a good test.
