Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] hwrng: fetch randomness only after device init
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 15:42:34 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8cf671af94c4747765ebec91a2a4f034a65aef2e.1404987133.git.amit.shah@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1404987133.git.amit.shah@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1404987133.git.amit.shah@redhat.com>

Commit d9e7972619334 "hwrng: add randomness to system from rng sources"
added a call to rng_get_data() from the hwrng_register() function.
However, some rng devices need initialization before data can be read
from them.

This commit makes the call to rng_get_data() depend on no init fn
pointer being registered by the device.  If an init function is
registered, this call is made after device init.
