Thanks for the notification.

I think this is a false-positive discussed before. __latent_entropy is
seemingly allowed for an entire linear buffer as seen in the declaration of
the variable input_pool_data in driver/char/random.c which is an array of u32.

The struct chacha20_state is a linear buffer of u32 words.

struct chacha20_block {
u32 constants[4];
union {
u32 u[CHACHA_KEY_SIZE_WORDS];
u8 b[CHACHA_KEY_SIZE];
} key;
u32 counter;
u32 nonce[3];
};

Therefore it should be identical to the aforementioned example. The
__latent_entropy marker therefore seems to be appropriate for this structure.

Ciao
Stephan
