I'm primarily interested in the HW RNG and a closer look to ace_sfr.h of the vendor kernel
revealed that Slim SSS doesn't seem to support the SEED / PRNG registers.
Therefore I didn't follow the SSS path further.
Instead I checked exyswd-rng.c, the driver for the TRNG. But no luck either.
SMC calls in general work but exynos_smc(SMC_CMD_RANDOM, HWRNG_INIT, 0, 0) returns -1.
Not sure whether the firmware is somehow restricted or whether Exynos 5422 doesn't support the TRNG.
Is there any publicly available information?

By the way: Seems like a bug in the driver, the return values of exynos_smc are defined as
positive values (#define HWRNG_RET_INVALID_ERROR 1) but actually it returns negative values
in error case.
