Subject: [PATCH] hw_random: use add_hwgenerator_randomness() for early entropy
Date: Sat,  5 Nov 2022 21:44:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221105204417.137001-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)

Rather than calling add_device_randomness(), the add_early_randomness()
function should use add_hwgenerator_randomness(), so that the early
entropy can be potentially credited, which allows for the RNG to
initialize earlier without having to wait for the kthread to come up.
