If we had a user-space API that would mean a single request can tie up the hardware indefinitely. If your hardware is not able to produce a non-finalised hash, then you should only do finup/final in hardware, and use a software fallback to implement the rest. If your hardware is also not able to accept an initial state, then the only thing you can implement is digest. The rest would have to fall back to software.
