That's been here before, just for the record for the below.

Yes, but as the sysfs files for unsupported algos are gone, this will be
used only for extending the PCR banks. tpm[12]_pcr_extend()
(necessarily) truncate the digests to the correct size before sending
them to the TPM.

But if you prefer I can absolutely replace TPM_DIGEST_SIZE by
hash_digest_size[ima_algo_array[i].algo].
