Also, it would be good to document somewhere that, --hrng=driver needs
to be omitted eg:
RNGDOPTIONS="--fill-watermark=90% --feed-interval=1"

cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail hovers close to 4000 after
this is enabled on my Thinkpad.  Without it, it hovers around between
the mid-to-high-2000s, and it sometimes dips below 2000 without these
options.

On my Xeon server, it hovers around the mid-3000s with these
RNGDOPTIONS, and hovers around the mid-2000s without; it also
sometimes dips below 2000 without these options.

I'd be happy to use the ent suite to compare without tpm_rng, with
tpm_rng and rng-tools, and with tpm_rng, rng-tools, and these
RNGDOPTIONS, if that data is necessary to justify this near-trivial
documentation update.

Cheers,
Nicholas
