Subject: Re: crypto: ux500 - memmove the right size

While reading the comment to 19ced623d :

"    The hash buffer is really HASH_BLOCK_SIZE bytes, someone
    must have thought that memmove takes n*u32 words by mistake.
    Tests work as good/bad as before after this patch.
"

I was just curious why the tests doesn't fail now and since when the bug were in the code.
The answer to the later is simple - the bug is there since the beginning of that file.
What's do you think about the first question ?
