after enabling CAAM I see:
rng_self_test: RNG software self-test passed
caam 2100000.crypto at 2100000.of: Instantiated RNG4 SH1
but the HAB warning is still there.
I read from drivers/crypto/caam/rng_self_test.c that the warning is
a false positive due to an incorrect implementation of the RNG
self-test procedure in the boot ROM.
So running the RNG selftest in the bootloader shoul help find
real RNG failures that may be obfuscated by this false positive.
Is correct my understanding?
Best,
Stefano
