It might be time to revert all this series and try again.  The
implementation seems to have not been well thought through from a kernel
building point of view.  For a start the two commits

  7cdc0ddbf74a ("crypto: aegis128 - add support for SIMD acceleration")
  ecc8bc81f2fb ("crypto: aegis128 - provide a SIMD implementation based on NEON intrinsics")

seem to be in the wrong order (function used in the first before being
defined in the second).  There are a series of declarations of external
functions in crypto/aegis128-core.c that should be in a header file.
And there was the assumption that asm/simd.h was available everywhere.

Also crypto_aegis128_decrypt_chunk_simd() is referenced in a structure
initialisation (unprotected by any CONFIG_ variable - and so will be
referenced even if it does not exist).  The compiler will have a hard
time knowing that "have_simd" is effectively a constant zero (and
crypto_simd_usable() is not constant).
