[PATCH] Documentation: hw_random: Fix issue related to feeding entropy pool

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is no need to use rng-tools for feeding random data into kernel
entropy pool as hw_random core handles it. Documentation suggested that
rng-tools is required which is incorrect. So remove it.
