/* Note: when adding a new curve:
* - Add it at the end of this enum, otherwise you'll break the ABI by
* changing the numerical value for existing curves.
* - Increment MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_MAX below.
* - Add the corresponding MBEDTLS_ECP_DP_xxx_ENABLED macro definition to
* config.h.
* - List the curve as a dependency of MBEDTLS_ECP_C and
* MBEDTLS_ECDSA_C if supported in check_config.h.
* - Add the curve to the appropriate curve type macro
* MBEDTLS_ECP_yyy_ENABLED above.
* - Add the necessary definitions to ecp_curves.c.
* - Add the curve to the ecp_supported_curves array in ecp.c.
* - Add the curve to applicable profiles in x509_crt.c if applicable.
