Hi, This is a follow up of my questions around exynos-rng [1]. The existing exynos-rng has many issues. The most important one is that it is a pseudo RNG device but uses hw_random interface which does not allow proper seeding. The RNG module on Exynos4 requires seeding. On newer SoCs (like Exynos5420) it can seed itself from a true RNG. Converting the existing driver to use TRNG would effectively drop support for Exynos4 and break compatibility with existing users. Instead I decided to convert it to crypto API. In the future I hope to add support for seeding from TRNG module. Tested with app [2]. Patches are independent. I will take the defconfig changes (2/3 and 3/3) through samsung-soc tree.
