Bug#931707: linux: HW_RANDOM_OMAP disabled for arm64 --> please enable
Source: linux
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
While testing Debian 10 on a Marvell 8040 SoC I found that the rng and SSH were
coming up extremely slow, taking over a minute to start.
This is caused by somebody disabling the rng driver for arm64 kernels a long time ago:
linux (4.14.13-1) unstable; urgency=medium
...
[ Riku Voipio ]
* [arm64] disable CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_OMAP until the IRQ storm bug is fixed
What is this IRQ storm bug? Has it been fixed? Can we re-enable this driver?
Yours sincerely
Josua Mayer
