Please, go through the mailing list threads [1][2] that have led us
to the current state.  To sum it up, it isn't about what's supported
in the two RK356x SoC variants, but about the RK3566's HWRNG being
disabled because the testing showed that it produces unacceptably
low quality of random data, for some yet unknown reason.
