Fixes: should rather point to the commit that caused the breakage in my
opinion. Which did this by intention:

| commit 8996eafdcbad149ac0f772fb1649fbb75c482a6a

|     crypto: ahash - ensure statesize is non-zero
(...)
+     This patch adds a check to prevent these drivers from registering
+     ahash algorithms until they are fixed.

Another crypto subsystem (mv_cesa) suffers from the same problem. I
have a patch ready but would prefer a consensus on these formalities
before submitting.

Aside from this, if you really need another Tested-by:, add me. And
also Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107281
