[PATCH] ARM: ux500: add DB serial number to entropy pool

From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij at linaro.org>

This throws the DB (digital baseband, ASIC) serial number, process
type etc into the entropy pool by way of the device_add_randomness()
call. This should make every device have a unique pool state upon
boot.
