Description z 2023-11-19 01:55:55 UTC 
BLK_DEV_DM and DM_CRYPT are both tristate, and the dm-crypt module doesn't report requiring dm-mod.

`modinfo dm-crypt --field depends` has no output because no depends or softdeps are defined.

This can cause issues determining module dependencies at runtime.
