This is a clone of issue OCPBUGS-24226. The following is the description of the original issue:
—
rh-ee-mpatlaso pointed this out in STOR-1453 but still somehow we missed it. I tested this on 4.15.0-0.ci-2023-11-29-021749.

It is possible to set a custom TLSSecurityProfile without minTLSversion:

$ oc edit apiserver cluster
...
spec:
  tlsSecurityProfile:
    type: Custom
    custom:
      ciphers:
      - ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305
      - ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256

This causes the controller to crash loop:

$ oc get pods -n openshift-cluster-csi-drivers
NAME                                             READY   STATUS             RESTARTS       AGE
aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller-589c44468b-gjrs2   6/11    CrashLoopBackOff   10 (18s ago)   37s
...

because the `${TLS_MIN_VERSION}` placeholder is never replaced:

        - --tls-min-version=${TLS_MIN_VERSION}
        - --tls-min-version=${TLS_MIN_VERSION}
        - --tls-min-version=${TLS_MIN_VERSION}
        - --tls-min-version=${TLS_MIN_VERSION}
        - --tls-min-version=${TLS_MIN_VERSION}

The observed config in the ClusterCSIDriver shows an empty string:

$ oc get clustercsidriver ebs.csi.aws.com -o json | jq .spec.observedConfig
{
  "targetcsiconfig": {
    "servingInfo":

{       "cipherSuites": [         "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256",         "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256"       ],       "minTLSVersion": ""     }

  }
}

which means minTLSVersion is empty when we get to this line, and the string replacement is not done:

[https://github.com/openshift/library-go/blob/c7f15dcc10f5d0b89e8f4c5d50cd313ae158de20/pkg/operator/csi/csidrivercontrollerservicecontroller/helpers.go#L234]

So it seems we have a couple of options:

1) completely omit the --tls-min-version arg if minTLSVersion is empty, or
2) set --tls-min-version to the same default value we would use if TLSSecurityProfile is not present in the apiserver object
