Subject: powerpc/pseries: wire up rng during setup_arch()
From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>
commit e561e472a3d441753bd012333b057f48fef1045b upstream.
The platform's RNG must be available before random_init() in order to be
useful for initial seeding, which in turn means that it needs to be
called from setup_arch(), rather than from an init call. Fortunately,
each platform already has a setup_arch function pointer, which means
it's easy to wire this up. This commit also removes some noisy log
messages that don't add much.
Fixes: a489043f4626 ("powerpc/pseries: Implement arch_get_random_long() based on H_RANDOM")
