Subject: [PATCH master 2/2] crypto: imx-scc: blobgen: use HWRNG for random numbers
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2025 08:21:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250417062152.3425911-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250417062152.3425911-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
The kernel's get_random_bytes provides random numbers suitable for crypto
purposes, while in barebox, we need to use get_crypto_bytes for that.
This footgun needs to be fixed, but until we do, let's make sure crypto
code doesn't use a badly seeded PRNG.
Fixes: b62a31a9069b ("crypto: add new imx-scc driver")
