Thanks for catching this. The variable ecdh_nist_p192_registered
is bogus. You should just make it so that if p192 fails to
register then the init function aborts. There would then be
no need to check for the registered state in the exit function.
Cheers,

Okay, I will fix it in next version, and 'ecdsa_init' should
do the same thing too?

Actually, it looks like it is needed for FIPS. We should add
a comment that p192 will fail to register in FIPS mode and that's
why there is a check for it.
Funnily enough, ecdsa has the FIPS comment but testmgr doesn't
set fips_allowed for any of them while ecdh is set but has no
comment.
Stephan, can you confirm that both ecdh-nist-p192 and ecdsa-nist-p192
should be disabled in FIPS mode?
Also, we should fix ecdh-nist-p192's entry in testmgr by removing
the ifdefs and not setting fips_allowed.
Cheers,

Confirmed with the following caveat: sigver is allowed due to legacy
considerations. Siggen / ECDH is only allowed for curves P-224 and higher.
As we introduce ECDSA today, I would not consider a legacy mode and thus
disable P-192.
