Subject: random: use hwgenerator randomness more frequently at early boot
X-Git-Tag: v6.6.17~6425^2~13
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=745558f9588551b1fef9609d165e239bce30d3e8;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

random: use hwgenerator randomness more frequently at early boot

Mix in randomness from hw-rng sources more frequently during early
boot, approximately once for every rng reseed.
