Subject: [PATCH] hw_random: core: Reset user selected rng by writing "" to rng_current
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 22:34:04 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171027170404.21262-1-prasannatsmkumar@gmail.com> (raw)
User is able to select a chosen rng by writing its name to rng_current
but there is no way to reset it without unbinding the rng. Let user
write "" to rng_current and delesect the chosen rng.
