 The following properties are recognized:
 
+rng-seed
+--------
+
+This property is used to initialize the kernel's random number generator at
+the earliest possible opportunity, and will be credited if CONFIG_RANDOM_
+TRUST_BOOTLOADER is set. All hardware that has an opportunity to set this
+with high quality randomness is encouraged to do so. It is parsed as a byte
+array, which should be at least 32 bytes long:

+/ {
+	chosen {
+		rng-seed = <... random bytes ...>;
