[PATCH 3/4 v2] random: rng-seed source is utf-8

[Mark Salyzyn]

commit 428826f5358c922dc378830a1717b682c0823160
("fdt: add support for rng-seed") makes the assumption that the data
in rng-seed is binary, when it is typically constructed of utf-8
characters which has a bitness of roughly 6 to give appropriate
credit due for the entropy.
