Marek,

Would it be advantageous for the kaslr-seed to be added automatically
from image_setup_libfdt?

I notice arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/fdt.c:ft_cpu_setup does
this and board/raspberrypi/rpi/rpi.c looks like it copies kaslr-seed
from the control fdt which I assume was added by an earlier layer for
that target.

I'm not clear if there is a disadvantage to automatically adding this
node if DM_RNG is enabled.

Best Regards,

Tim
