Generally looks fine.  A few nits below:

The include of sha2.h should be removed from this file.

It should be made clear that @digest and @alg are output, for example:

 * @digest: (out) pointer to the digest
 * @alg: (out) pointer to the hash algorithm enumeration

The digest size is implied, not returned.

As the kernel test robot pointed out, this creates a dependency on
CRYPTO_HASH_INFO.  So FS_VERITY will need to select CRYPTO_HASH_INFO.
