Based on previous (NXP-internal) discussions, non-E crypto module is:
-fully disabled on: LS1021A (ARMv7), LS1043A, LS1088A, LS2088A
(and their personalities)
-partially [*] disabled on: LS1012A, LS1028A, LS1046A, LX2160A
(and their personalities)

I am not aware if this has been tested before or not and
I don't have non-E boards at hand to test on,
so let me first double check with IP design and SoC integration teams...

Going forward, it might be better to filter based on the list of
SoCs with crypto module fully disabled, since in theory all upcoming SoCs
will partially disable the crypto module.

[*] This means the following should still be working:
-hashing (using MDHA - message digest hash accelerator)
-random number generation (using RNG4)
-cyclic redundancy checking (using CRCA)
-runtime integrity checker (RTIC)
