This defeats the point of the test, which is that crc32c implementations are
expected to use the same shash_desc context format and be usable by calling
crypto_shash_update() directly after initializing the context manually, without
a prior crypto_shash_init().  See for example ext4_chksum() in fs/ext4/ext4.h:

	static inline u32 ext4_chksum(struct ext4_sb_info *sbi, u32 crc,
				      const void *address, unsigned int length)
	{
		struct {
			struct shash_desc shash;
			char ctx[4];
		} desc;

		BUG_ON(crypto_shash_descsize(sbi->s_chksum_driver)!=sizeof(desc.ctx));

		desc.shash.tfm = sbi->s_chksum_driver;
		desc.shash.flags = 0;
		*(u32 *)desc.ctx = crc;

		BUG_ON(crypto_shash_update(&desc.shash, address, length));

		return *(u32 *)desc.ctx;
	}

I think you need to fix the stm32 crc32 driver to not store anything extra in
the shash_desc context, and only use hardware during ->update().
