This update to the comment makes no sense, since sha1_block_fn() is obviously
safe in the helpers, and this says nothing about the assembly functions.
Instead this should say something like:

	/*
	 * Make sure that struct sha1_state begins directly with the 160-bit
	 * SHA1 internal state, as this is what the assembly functions expect.
	 */

Likewise for SHA-256 and SHA-512, except for those it would be a 256-bit and
512-bit internal state respectively.

'u8 const' is unconventional.  Please use 'const u8' instead.

Also, this function prototype is also given in a comment in the corresponding
assembly file.  Can you please update that too, and also leave a comment in the
assembly file like "struct sha1_state is assumed to begin with u32 state[5]."?

Likewise for all the other SHA-1, and SHA-256, and SHA-512 assembly functions,
except it would be u32 state[8] for SHA-256 and u64 state[8] for SHA-512.
