A lazy grep says yes:

$ git grep 'aadlen ='
packet.c:       u_int authlen = 0, aadlen = 0;
packet.c:       aadlen = (mac && mac->enabled && mac->etm) || authlen ? 4 : 0;
packet.c:       u_int maclen, aadlen = 0, authlen = 0, block_size;
packet.c:       aadlen = (mac && mac->enabled && mac->etm) || authlen ? 4 : 0;
sshkey-xmss.c:  aadlen = sshbuf_len(encoded);
sshkey-xmss.c:  aadlen = sshbuf_len(copy) - sshbuf_len(encoded);
