The patch titled
Subject: random: remove unused randomize_range()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
random-remove-unused-randomize_range.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Jason Cooper <jason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: random: remove unused randomize_range()
All call sites for randomize_range have been updated to use the much
simpler and more robust randomize_addr(). Remove the now unnecessary
code.
