[PATCH 5.4 037/240] random: document add_hwgenerator_randomness() with other input functions

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2b6c6e3d9ce3aa0e547ac25d60e06fe035cd9f79 upstream.

The section at the top of random.c which documents the input functions
available does not document add_hwgenerator_randomness() which might lead
a reader to overlook it. Add a brief note about it.

Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx>
[Jason: reorganize position of function in doc comment and also document
 add_bootloader_randomness() while we're at it.]
