From: PrasannaKumar Muralidharan Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: hw_random: Fix issue related to feeding entropy pool Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2017 21:45:44 +0530 Message-ID: <20170822161544.24958-1-prasannatsmkumar@gmail.com> Cc: PrasannaKumar Muralidharan To: herbert@gondor.apana.org.au, corbet@lwn.net, linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org, linux-doc@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-doc-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-crypto.vger.kernel.org There is no need to use rng-tools for feeding random data into kernel entropy pool as hw_random core handles it. Documentation suggested that rng-tools is required which is incorrect. So remove it.
