[PATCH 2/2] crypto: ecdsa - Use ecc_digits_from_bytes to convert signature

[Stefan Berger]

Since ecc_digits_from_bytes will provide zeros when an insufficient number
of bytes are passed in the input byte array, use it to convert the r and s
components of the signature to digits directly from the input byte
array. This avoids going through an intermediate byte array that has the
first few bytes filled with zeros.
