Can we get away from this hardcoding, like 9, 55, 0x1ff etc.
Or at least add comment about these.

Maybe these can be defined as:
#define ECC_CURVE_NIST_P521_DIGITS  (DIV_ROUND_UP(521, 64) /* NIST P521 */)

> +#define ECC_MAX_DIGITS              DIV_ROUND_UP(521, 64) /* NIST P521 */

/* NIST_P521 is max digits */
#define ECC_MAX_DIGITS              ECC_CURVE_ _DIGITS
