If both RNG state handles are initialized before kernel runs, then
instantiate_rng() should be a no-op and return 0, which is enough to exit the
loop: while ((ret == -EAGAIN) && (ent_delay < RTSDCTL_ENT_DLY_MAX))
If the loop cannot exit based on value of "ret" != -EAGAIN, then it means
caam_probe() will eventually fail due to ret == -EAGAIN:
if (ret) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to instantiate RNG");
goto caam_remove;
}
Please provide more details, so that the root cause is found and fixed.
For e.g. what is the value of RDSTA (RNG DRNG Status register @0x6C0):
-before & after u-boot initializes RNG
-as seen by kernel during caam_probe()
Also provide related error messages displayed during boot.
Thanks,
Horia
