I think that's actually from "crypto/crc32c: register only one shash_alg"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20250601224441.778374-3-ebiggers@kernel.org/),
not the patch you replied to.

Those self-test warnings are expected.  But I guess they are going to confuse
people, so we should do something to make them go away.

I think we should do what I've proposed for SHA-512: stop worrying about setting
the cra_driver_name to something meaningful (which has never really worked
anyway), instead just use *-lib, and update crypto/testmgr.c accordingly.

I'll send out patches that do that.
