Subject: [PATCH v3 05/10] crypto: ecc - Add nbits field to ecc_curve structure
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2024 15:41:44 -0500

Add the number of bits a curve has to the ecc_curve definition. This field
only needs to be set for curves that don't fill up all bytes in their
digits, such as NIST P521 which has only 9 bits in the most significant
digit. This field will be used to determine the number of bytes a curve
requires for its key coordinates for example.
