[PATCH v2 1/2] fdt: add support for rng-seed

[Hsin-Yi Wang]

Introducing a chosen node, rng-seed, which is an entropy that can be
passed to kernel called very early to increase initial device
randomness. Bootloader should provide this entropy and the value is
read from /chosen/rng-seed in DT.

change log:
v1->v2:
* call function in early_init_dt_scan_chosen
* will add doc to devicetree-org/dt-schema on github if this is accepted

+rng-seed
+-----------
+
+This property served as an entropy to add device randomness. It is parsed
+as a byte array, e.g.
+
+/ {
+	chosen {
+		rng-seed = <0x31 0x95 0x1b 0x3c 0xc9 0xfa 0xb3 ...>;
+	};
+};
+
+This random value should be provided by bootloader.
