If curve->nbits is set then return this number, otherwise use
the curve->ndigits to calculate the number of bits.

Since you're amending struct ecc_curve with an extra nbits value anyway,
why not statically fill it in for all curves, instead of adding this
extra complexity in the code?

Thanks,

I filled in all curves now, including ecrdsa cruves and curve25519.
