From 3acd9ea9331cd56f9769d16211c865d4638fd12d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Kaiser Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2020 21:58:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hwrng: imx-rngc - use automatic seeding The rngc requires a new seed for its prng after generating 2^20 160-bit words of random data. At the moment, we seed the prng only once during initalisation. Set the rngc to auto seed mode so that it kicks off the internal reseeding operation when a new seed is required. Keep the manual calculation of the initial seed when the device is probed and switch to automatic seeding afterwards.
