Hi,

After reading a blog post[1], I have a great trust interest in seeing you take two upstream commits in stable, so:

39a8883a2b989d1d21bd8dd99f5557f0c5e89694 (random: add a config option to trust the CPU's hwrng) 9b25436662d5fb4c66eb527ead53cab15f596ee0 (random: make CPU trust a boot parameter)

I have just successfully tested this into linux 4.14.159.

If you wish to use this new feature, please just use the 4.19 or newer kernel, no need to stick to 4.14.y. Remember, stable kernels are for bugfixes, not new features.

thanks,
