Adding the ivsize > allows the self-test lookup to pass. That's not right. ECB does not require an IV and therefore it shouldn't have a non-zero IV size. I'm not quite sure what you mean by crypto_lookup_skcipher not liking a missing IV size. It appears to handle that case just fine by returning the algorithm as is. Can you show me what your /proc/crypto contains after you get the aformentioned error?
