>From 5e84a71d4c4b3c7f015878c0907102634603d270 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Stephan Mueller <stephan.mueller@xxxxxxxxx>

Subject: 

The function maybe_reseed_primary_crng is not used anywhere and thus can
be removed. Besides, it contains the check crng_init > 2 which will
never become true and thus would never trigger a reseed of the ChaCha20
primary DRNG.
