Subject[PATCH] mips: allow firmware to pass RNG seed to kernel
Date
Nearly all other firmware environments have some way of passing a RNG
seed to initialize the RNG: DTB's rng-seed, EFI's RNG protocol, m68k's
bootinfo block, x86's setup_data, and so forth. This adds something
similar for MIPS, which will allow various firmware environments,
bootloaders, and hypervisors to pass an RNG seed to initialize the
kernel's RNG.
