+   * When MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG is enabled, you may list the PSA crypto
+     feature requirements in the file named by the new macro
+     MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE instead of the default psa/crypto_config.h.
+     Furthermore you may name an additional file to include after the main
+     file with the macro MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_USER_CONFIG_FILE.

+ * When this option is enabled, the PSA API exposes the cryptographic

+ * automatically enabled if required (i.e. if no PSA driver provides the
+ * mechanism). You may still freely enable additional `MBEDTLS_XXX` symbols
+ * in mbedtls_config.h.
+ *
+ * If the symbol #MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_CONFIG_FILE is defined, it specifies
+ * an alternative header to include instead of include/psa/crypto_config.h.
  *
  * This feature is still experimental and is not ready for production since
