Wondering if this would be of interest to you [0]. I think since this
device only has one TRNG, there has to be a master around and we can
mitigate that from OP-TEE as of now, incase anything changes in future
then the communication channel between OP-TEE and the secure firmware
can be established but currently it's still at work. I think the best
way to go forward is to get the numbers from OP-TEE atm IMHO.
