commit 8593ff00cc66e330228164ae5422f80ef93ed35d
Author: Richard Levitte <levitte at openssl.org>
Date:   Mon Mar 1 18:46:20 2021 +0100

    DOCS: Fix provider-mac.pod and the docs of our implementations
    
    The idea being that doc/man7/provider-mac.pod is for provider authors,
    while provider users find the documentation for each implementation in
    doc/man7/EVP_MAC-*.pod, the documentation of parameters wasn't quite
    aligned.  This change re-arranges the parameter documentation to be
    more aligned with this idea.
