fscrypt doesn't use the CTR mode of operation for anything, so there's
no need to select CRYPTO_CTR. It was added by commit 71dea01ea2ed
("ext4 crypto: require CONFIG_CRYPTO_CTR if ext4 encryption is
enabled"). But, I've been unable to identify the arm64 crypto bug it
was supposedly working around.
I suspect the issue was seen only on some old Android device kernel
(circa 3.10?). So if the fix wasn't mistaken, the real bug is probably
already fixed. Or maybe it was actually a bug in a non-upstream crypto
driver.
So, remove the dependency. If it turns out there's actually still a
bug, we'll fix it properly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
