The problem is that this method takes a mutable reference to an NV_ENC_CONFIG. However, this is then stored to a pointer. Therefore, the NV_ENC_CONFIG member may disappear at some point while not violating any lifetime constraints.
This effectively means the NV_ENC_CONFIG may contain random data, causing strange, difficult to debug errors. Or no errors at all in some cases.
The method in question is part of
