Under earlyprintk, each RNG call produces a debug report line. To support the future FGKASLR feature, which will fetch random bytes during function shuffling, this is not useful information (each line is identical and tells us nothing new), needlessly spamming the console. Instead, allow for a NULL "purpose" to suppress the debug reporting.
