The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code cleanup in the Trezor firmware's embedded MicroPython modules. It replaces an older, two-step object allocation pattern with a newer helper that allocates memory and sets the object type in one step. The change touches many cryptographic object constructors but does not alter security logic, input validation, or behavior. It is best understood as a maintenance refactor to stay compatible with upstream MicroPython, not a security fix.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal dependency/maintenance refactor. If reviewing for supply-chain risk, verify that the upstream MicroPython commit 971617196644775905fd821c39c6a7771b63dbaf is correctly referenced and that the new macro behaves identically to the old two-step pattern.
