[PATCH] crypto: ecdsa: Fix the public key format description

[Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org>]

Public key blob is not just x and y concatenated. It follows RFC5480
section 2.2. Address this by re-documenting the function with the
correct description of the format.

Fixes: 4e6602916bc6 ("crypto: ecdsa - Add support for ECDSA signature verification")
Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org>

It is a bug fix that does not really need a stable backport. Still
categorizes as a bug because by following the existing documentation
you end up with an error code.
