I don't think it'd be even nit-picking to say that the function
called would really need kdoc. I had to spend about 20 minutes
to reacall ecc_digits_from_bytes().

Like something to remind what, how and why... So that you can
recap quickly. Once I got grip of it (for the 2nd time) the
code itself was just fine, no complains on that.

BR, Jarkko
