I'm fine with the patch going through your tree but I have a comment
below.

I'm not sure about using early_boot_irqs_disabled, it is described as a
debug helper. It's also set to 'false' before
system_capabilities_finalized() (once the full SMP is enabled).

Would something like this work:

	if (system_capabilities_finalized())
		return cpus_have_final_cap(ARM64_HAS_RNG);
	if (!preemptible())
		return __early_cpu_has_rndr();
	return false;

We also have a this_cpu_has_cap() function, though it's likely more
expensive than the hand-coded __early_cpu_has_rndr() (if we care about
performance here).
