* <h3>Design notes about multipart operation structures</h3>
*
* Each multipart operation structure contains a `psa_algorithm_t alg`
* field which indicates which specific algorithm the structure is for.
* When the structure is not in use, `alg` is 0. Most of the structure
* consists of a union which is discriminated by `alg`.
* For multipart operations without driver delegation support, each multipart
* operation structure contains a `psa_algorithm_t alg` field which indicates
* which specific algorithm the structure is for. When the structure is not in
* use, `alg` is 0. Most of the structure consists of a union which is
* discriminated by `alg`.
*
* Note that when `alg` is 0, the content of other fields is undefined.
* For multipart operations with driver delegation support, each multipart
* operation structure contains an `unsigned int id` field indicating which
* driver got assigned to do the operation. When the structure is not in use,
* 'id' is 0. The structure contains also a driver context which is the union
* of the contexts of all drivers able to handle the type of multipart
* operation.
*
* Note that when `alg` or `id` is 0, the content of other fields is undefined.
* In particular, it is not guaranteed that a freshly-initialized structure
* is all-zero: we initialize structures to something like `{0, 0}`, which
* is only guaranteed to initializes the first member of the union;
