I did freshly install rng-tools5 package before running the test, so
I rebooted again to make sure that wasn't a factor:

===========================================================
root@pinetab2:~# cat /dev/hwrng | rngtest -c 1000
rngtest 5
...

rngtest: starting FIPS tests...
rngtest: bits received from input: 20000032
rngtest: FIPS 140-2 successes: 704
rngtest: FIPS 140-2 failures: 296
rngtest: FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Monobit: 293
rngtest: FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Poker: 32
rngtest: FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Runs: 10
rngtest: FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Long run: 0
rngtest: FIPS 140-2(2001-10-10) Continuous run: 0
rngtest: input channel speed: (min=2.612; avg=137.833; max=9765625.000)Kibits/s
rngtest: FIPS tests speed: (min=24.391; avg=34.416; max=68.364)Mibits/s
rngtest: Program run time: 149736205 microseconds
===========================================================

So that 704/296 vs 730/270 in the previous run on the PT2.

In case it helps:
