So I've tried to use crypto_ablkcipher_ivsize(tfm) for that.

But noticed that some algs don't set ivsize (which makes it zero).
E.g. "ecb-cast6-avx" doesn't set it, but test vectors (cast6_enc_tv_template[], cast6_dec_tv_template[])
have .iv of 16bytes.

So I'm not sure what part is wrong here.
Is it wrong to use crypto_ablkcipher_ivsize(tfm) to get ivsize here?
Is it bug in 'ecb-cast6-avx'?
Or maybe something else?
