RDRAND isn't the same as CCP.

Looks like the kernel reports CCP as broken. As the above RDRAND test
doesn't indicate anything about CCP, I don't see rationale for that
determination to be wrong.

Actual test code is in drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-dev-v5.c:

        /* Find available queues */
        qmr = ioread32(ccp->io_regs + Q_MASK_REG);
        /*
         * Check for a access to the registers.  If this read returns
         * 0xffffffff, it's likely that the system is running a broken
         * BIOS which disallows access to the device. Stop here and fail
         * the initialization (but not the load, as the PSP could get                       * properly initialized).                                                           */
        if (qmr == 0xffffffff) {                                                                   dev_notice(dev, "ccp: unable to access the device: you might be running a broken BIOS.\n");                                                                           return 1;                                                                  }
