Protect ecc_digits_from_bytes from reading too many bytes from the input
byte array in case an insufficient number of bytes is provided to fill the
output digit array of ndigits. Therefore, initialize the most significant
digits with 0 to avoid trying to read too many bytes later on.

If too many bytes are provided on the input byte array the extra bytes
are ignored since the input variable 'ndigits' limits the number of digits
that will be filled.

Fixes: d67c96fb97b5 ("crypto: ecdsa - Convert byte arrays with key coordinates to digits")

Could be just trivial for-loop:

for (i = 0; i < diff; i++)
	out[--ndigits] = 0;

Or also simpler while-loop could work:

while (diff-- > 0)
	out[--ndigits] = 0;

Or just use memset(), which uses optimized instructions on many arches.

Yeah, sure, that would be even better, or even memzero_explicit()?

Thanks. The function isn't getting too big for an inline?

Hmm... so as far as I'm concerned you pick what works for you. Just
was pointing out at it would make to simplify the original a bit :-)

memzero_explicit should only be used for stack memory.

BTW, is this in kernel documentation? It's a guideline really
and would be nice to have reminder, that's all.

Any case makes sense and is pretty obvious now that you said it.
