[PATCH v6 07/13] crypto: ecc - Add special case for NIST P521 in ecc_point_mult

[Stefan Berger]

From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In ecc_point_mult use the number of bits of the NIST P521 curve + 2. The
change is required specifically for NIST P521 to pass mathematical tests
on the public key.
