It is common enough that we are not the only ones affected. Also, even a
"relatively unusual choice" should, in my opinion, not result in a build
error. Never mind, I'll just apply the suggested workaround and configure
CRYPTO_DEV_CCP_DD=y. I need to do that anyway, after all, if I want to keep
KVM_AMD=y.
