The decryption reports only an -EBADMSG here, which means the decryption itself went
fine, but the authentication tag mismatched.

Can't say for sure, but considering the decrypt error, this is most likely just a
mismatch on the appended authentication tag.

That is possible, as this appears to be a problem with the authentication part,
not the encryption part. So possibly a problem with the way you setup the
authentication key (which is actually derived from the encryption key, but I don't
know if your hardware does this autonomously, mine doesn't) and/or operation?
