add_early_randomness() is called by hwrng_register() when the hardware is added. If this hardware and its module are present at boot, and if there is no data available the boot hangs until data are available and can't be interrupted. To avoid that, call rng_get_data() in non-blocking mode (wait=0) from add_early_randomness().
