This series improves type safety and clarity in the ChaCha functions by
strongly typing the state array and adding explicit array bounds for
other fixed-length arrays.  No functional changes.

Eric Biggers (4):
  crypto: lib/chacha - strongly type the ChaCha state
  crypto: lib/chacha - use struct assignment to copy state
  crypto: lib/chacha - add strongly-typed state zeroization
  crypto: lib/chacha - add array bounds to function prototypes
