Just curious, will there be concurrent access? If yes, how do you manage
the entropy in that case?

If you allow access to RNG from normal world, can attacker change the
setting to generate more predicatable numbers leading this to secure
world as well.

I understand that you're leaving the enablement part to customer but
you still have to allow RNG access to normal world for that.
