If CTPR_MS[PS]=0, this means CAAM does not allow choosing the "pointer size"
via MCFGR[PS]. Usually in this case the RM does not document MCFGR[PS] bit,
which is identical to MCFGR[PS]=0.

Thus the logic should be smth. like:
	caam_ptr_sz = CTPR_MS[PS] && MCFGR[PS] ? 64 : 32;

Sorry for not being clear.

caam_ptr_sz=1  - > 32-bit addresses for CAAM
should have been
caam_ptr_sz=*64*  - > 32-bit addresses for CAAM
i.e. CAAM address has "more than" (>) 32 bits (exact number of bits is
SoC / chassis specific) and thus will be represented on 8 bytes.
