Ard had added the library specifically for this use case, this was the first 
discussion thread: https://lore.kernel.org/all/c6fb9b25-a4b6-2e4a-2dd1-63adda055a49@amd.com/

Should I add the above link instead ?

Thinking more about this snp_dev and snp_dev->ctx will not be null, 
because the snp_init_crypto() would have failed resulting in sev-guest driver 
load failure. The below should suffice or I can drop the helper. 

static inline unsigned int get_ctx_authsize(struct snp_guest_dev *snp_dev)
{
	return snp_dev->ctx->authsize;
}

Sure, I will change this.
