Hi!
I'm configuring kernel for x86, and I get offered HW_RANDOM_CCTRNG
with default=Y, and help text suggesting I should enable it.
That's... two wrong suggestions, right?
Best regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,
I think you got it right..
Indeed, Arm CryptoCell CCTRNG driver couldn't be used and obviously useless if the Arm CryptoCell HW does not exist in the system.
