[PATCH v2 2/2] hw_random: timeriomem_rng: Allow setting RNG quality from platform data

Show all headers | View raw

When a hw_random device's quality is non-zero, it will automatically be
used to fill the kernel's entropy pool.  Since timeriomem_rng is used by
many different devices, the quality needs to be provided by platform
data or device tree.

Signed-off-by: Rick Altherr <raltherr@google.com>

Changes in v2:
- Adjust header comment for platform data quality property to match code
and DT bindings
