Keeping my Signed-off-by is fine, but please leave a note about what you
changed, like:

Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>
[SK: also require that the underlying algorithm doesn't need a fallback]
Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@...unet.com>

Also, a nit: in the commit message,

... the word "and" should be "or".
