You need to match at word boundaries to avoid matching on ${foo}_sha256_init().
So it's actually a somewhat shorter list:

$ git grep -l -E '\<sha(224|256)_(init|update|final)\>'
arch/arm/crypto/sha256_glue.c
arch/arm/crypto/sha256_neon_glue.c
arch/arm64/crypto/sha256-glue.c
arch/s390/crypto/sha256_s390.c
arch/s390/purgatory/purgatory.c
arch/x86/crypto/sha256_ssse3_glue.c
arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.c
crypto/sha256_generic.c
drivers/crypto/ccree/cc_hash.c
drivers/crypto/chelsio/chcr_algo.h
drivers/crypto/n2_core.c
include/linux/sha256.h
lib/sha256.c

5 of these are already edited by this patchset, so that leaves only 8 files.

I think it should be done; the same was done when introducing the AES library.
But I'm okay with it being done later, if you want to keep this patchset
shorter.
