Hi, Emil

The cause of booting slowly is that when JH7110-Timer is registered as clockevent device, the soft timer will be pending while
the crng tries to generate entropy(try_to_generate_entropy funcition in linux/driver/char/random.c).
This can be avoided with setting CONFIG_HW_RANDOM and CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_JH7110 as "y". But I can't find a root casue.

Could you please give me some advice?

Best Regards
