Hi!
Please share your GnUPG version and the type of smartcard you are using with us. A 9 year old commit is not very helpful.
I'm using gpg 2.2.36 and a OpenPGP smart card implementation we are currently developing. You're right the commit itself isn't very helpful, here are is the code that is relevant in the 2.2 branch: https://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=blob;f=g10/keygen.c;h=fee752376d28d7c7704336d681da8be92c4f22bc;hb=491645b50ec97db12520483d347291d660db209c#l2393 See the `expert_only` flag set to 1 for P-256. This was introduced in the commit I mentioned.
