I did, and my reply is here:

I was hoping for a series that addresses these issues. As I mentioned
before, I'm not super keen on deferring that processing in a
conditional case and having multiple entry ways into that same
functionality. I don't think that's worth it, especially if your
actual concern is just userspace calling RNDADDTOENTCNT too often
(which can be safely ratelimited). I don't think that thread needs to
spill over here, though, so feel free to follow up with a v+1 on that
series and I'll happily take a look. Alternatively, if you'd like to
approach this by providing a patch for Jonathan's issue, that makes
sense too. So far, the things in front of me are: 1) your patchset
from last month that has unresolved issues, and 2) Andy's thing, which
maybe will solve the problem (or it won't?). A third alternative from
you would be most welcome too.
