Hello Krzysztof,

Our default implementation is to handle the RNG in OP-TEE for
these platforms. Therefore, it goes through optee-rng driver.
The RNG services are exposed by a PTA (Pseudo Trusted Application)
in OP-TEE. In this case, there's no need to enable the RNG node
in the Linux Kernel.

Best regards,
Gatien
