[PATCH v2] random: fix add_hwgenerator_randomness entropy accounting
Posted by Jan Varho 4 years, 2 months ago
add_hwgenerator_randomness tries to only use the required amound of input
for fast init, but credits all the entropy if even a byte was left over.

Fix by not crediting entropy when using the input for fast init.
