I get the following error when I try to access the ed25519 key stored in SoftHSM via the openssl engine interface using engine_pkcs11.

[]:~$ openssl pkey -in "pkcs11:model=SoftHSM%20v2;manufacturer=SoftHSM%20project;serial=6a160d52b750862f;token=token%202.5.0-rc1;id=%22%22;object=ed25519%20leaf%20key;type=private" -inform ENGINE -engine pkcs11 -text
engine "pkcs11" set.
Enter PKCS#11 token PIN for token 2.5.0-rc1:
Key not found.
PKCS11_get_private_key returned NULL
cannot load key from engine

The openssl version used above is 1.1.1. which supports the ed25519 keys. The softhsm is v2.5.0-rc1 which also support the ed25519 keys.
