[PATCH] fixup! drivers: caam: add RNG software self-test

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

 



Demote this warning to an info because the failure is expected and we
can work around it. The self-test will still error afterwards in case of
failure.

Right, that argumentation seems more reasonable to me.
