Subject: mfd: wm831x: Feed the device UUID into device_add_randomness()
From: Mark Brown <[email protected]>
commit 27130f0cc3ab97560384da437e4621fc4e94f21c upstream.
wm831x devices contain a unique ID value. Feed this into the newly added
device_add_randomness() to add some per device seed data to the pool.
