    Subject[PATCH 4.14 122/237] random: pull add_hwgenerator_randomness() declaration into random.h
    Date
    From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@zx2c4.com>

    commit b777c38239fec5a528e59f55b379e31b1a187524 upstream.

    add_hwgenerator_randomness() is a function implemented and documented
    inside of random.c. It is the way that hardware RNGs push data into it.
    Therefore, it should be declared in random.h. Otherwise sparse complains
    with:

    random.c:1137:6: warning: symbol 'add_hwgenerator_randomness' was not declared. Should it be static?

    The alternative would be to include hw_random.h into random.c, but that
    wouldn't really be good for anything except slowing down compile time.
