Subject[PATCH v2 0/4] virtio-rng: contribute to early randomness requests
Date
v2:
- update patch 3 to store the hwrng_register_done bool per-device
rather than global
- add patch 2 that re-arranges struct elems for better packing.

Hi,

This series enables virtio-rng to service the early randomness
requests made by the hwrng core (patch 3), with Herbert's idea of
using the scan routine.

Patch 4 reverts the previous restriction, which no longer applies, to
not send read requests to the host before successful probe.

Patches 1 and 2 are minor cleanups.

Please review and apply,

Amit Shah (4):
virtio: rng: remove unused struct element
virtio: rng: re-arrange struct elements for better packing
virtio: rng: delay hwrng_register() till driver is ready
Revert "hwrng: virtio - ensure reads happen after successful probe"
