Hi,

This is a follow up of my questions around exynos-rng [1].

The existing exynos-rng has many issues.  The most important one is that
it is a pseudo RNG device but uses hw_random interface which does not allow
proper seeding.

The RNG module on Exynos4 requires seeding.  On newer SoCs (like Exynos5420)
it can seed itself from a true RNG.  Converting the existing driver
to use TRNG would effectively drop support for Exynos4 and break
compatibility with existing users.

Instead I decided to convert it to crypto API.  In the future I hope
to add support for seeding from TRNG module.

Tested with app [2].

Patches are independent. I will take the defconfig changes (2/3 and 3/3)
through samsung-soc tree.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
