Apologies for not addressing the previous comments.

Maybe we can continue our discussion here;
" SM8450 and SM8350 QCOM ICE both support HWKM in their ICE hardware.
However, wrapped keys can not be enabled on those targets due to certain
missing trustzone support. If we solely rely on hardware version to decide
if ICE has to use wrapped keys for data encryption, then it becomes untestable
on those chipsets. 

So, we want another way to distinguish this scenario, and hence I chose a DT vendor property
to explicitly mention if we have to use the supported HWKM.
If there is another way, I am open to exploring that as well."
