[RFC PATCH] crypto: make the seed() function optional

2017-09-13 Thread Mathieu Malaterre

This makes it simplier for driver author to not provide the seed() function in case of a pseudo RNG where the seed operation is a no-op. Document that the seed() function pointer is optional in header. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Malaterre --- The PRNG as found on Ingenic JZ4780 is one such example.
