[PATCH 1/3] crypto: caam - RNG4 TRNG errata

From: Andrey Smirnov
Date: Tue Oct 29 2019 - 12:29:47 EST


The TRNG as used in RNG4, used in CAAM has a documentation issue. The
effect is that it is possible that the entropy used to instantiate the
DRBG may be old entropy, rather than newly generated entropy. There is
proper programming guidance, but it is not in the documentation.
