These patches both need Upstream-Status: and Signed-off-by: Tags

I am more concerned about this patch as I do not know the code well, but
if ctx->digest is non-NULL and type is, this code would not be executed
which would be wrong, correct? Your changing the behavior of the code
here. Also reading the code, it should be be possible for type to be
NULL, unless some memory corruption occurs earlier as there is a check
at line 153 for !type, which should cause it to goto skip_to_init.
Please verify this patch is really needed.
