Hello Greg & Sasha, I would like to ask you for your opinion about backporting DTS patches to stable kernel which allows usage of hwrng on Marvell Armada 3700 devices.

Driver is already part of 5.4 kernel, just DTS bindings are not there. I do not know if such backport is suitable for stable kernels. In file https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html is written that "New device IDs and quirks are also accepted" where "device id" could mean also small DTS change...

We could, that's how I've been parsing that rule.

...

What do you think? Question is about these 3 small commits: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...

If it was actually tested on 5.4, I could queue it up for the next release cycle.

Hello Sasha! Now I tested these patches on top of stable 5.4 and hwrng is working fine.

Thanks for testing. Queued up...
