Subject: ath9k: Mix the received FFT bins to the random pool
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2aa56cca3571fd08c0c38f3e2d4bb0bfb3def3c5;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

ath9k: Mix the received FFT bins to the random pool

E/M noise is a pretty good source of entropy so we mix the FFT
measurements of the E/M spectrum to /dev/random pool. Note that
this doesn't increase the pool's entropy count but it still helps
on improving the output of /dev/(u)random.
