Re: [PATCH v2 0/3] add support of hardware random generator on MediaTek MT7622

Hi Herbert,

thanks for effort reviewing on those patches.

By the way, also loop in Torsten

Could you kindly guide me how to determine appropriate 
rng->ops.quality value used by the driver?

There is less clues since the value is not being set in
most drivers. But good value decided would allow feeding
fresh entropy data with the hwrng so i would like add it
in the next patch.

I have tested with rngtest on mtk-cir and the result is got as
the below log shown.  If the rngtest always gives the result for
success rate over 99.8%, can I set the rng->ops.quality 998?
