Introducing a chosen node, rng-seed, which is an entropy that can be passed to kernel called very early to increase initial device randomness. Bootloader should provide this entropy and the value is read from /chosen/rng-seed in DT.
Obtain of_fdt_crc32 for CRC check after early_init_dt_scan_nodes(), since early_init_dt_scan_chosen() would modify fdt to erase rng-seed. Add a new interface add_bootloader_randomness() for rng-seed use case. Depends on whether the seed is trustworthy, rng seed would be passed to add_hwgenerator_randomness(). Otherwise it would be passed to add_device_randomness(). Decision is controlled by kernel config RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER.
