Thanks for your comment. Actually, we have tried to use this simple method:
 uint8_t digest[qat_hash_get_digest_size(ICP_QAT_HW_AUTH_ALGO_DELIMITER)] = {0};

And it will report compile error:
../drivers/crypto/qat/qat_sym_session.c:1194:4: error: variable-sized object may not be initialized
 1194 |    ICP_QAT_HW_AUTH_ALGO_DELIMITER)] = {0};
      |    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../drivers/crypto/qat/qat_sym_session.c:1194:40: warning: excess elements in array initializer
 1194 |    ICP_QAT_HW_AUTH_ALGO_DELIMITER)] = {0};
      |                                        ^
../drivers/crypto/qat/qat_sym_session.c:1194:40: note: (near initialization for ‘digest’)
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

I think this is because compiler cannot know the size of digest due to function
'qat_hash_get_digest_size' during  compiling time.
