[PATCH] random: Drop ARCH limitations for CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU
From: Alexander Sverdlin
Date: Sun Mar 29 2020 - 04:43:46 EST
The option itself looks attractive for the embedded devices which often
have HWRNG but less entropy from user-input. And these devices are often
ARM/ARM64 or MIPS. The reason to limit it to X86/S390/PPC is not obvious.
