mtd: otp: Put factory OTP/NVRAM into the entropy pool
The factory OTP, if supported, contains factory-programmed information such as typically the serial number or production week for the chip. As this is device-unique information, submit it into the system entropy pool. This does not count as improvement of the entropy as such but in practice it makes it a bit more random to mix in these numbers. Cc: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Acked-by: Jason A.
