Great news

Yes the number of CSR to save is the same for SHA256 and SHA1. You can 
look at the 'Context swapping' chapter (47.3.3) in the reference manual 
for UX500. There is a note at the end telling that you do not have to 
save all 54 register if you do HASH operation, only 38 are necessary :

Best regards,
