I have used debug messages to better track if error happens. I think it would be 
good if you can extend your code with it.
Because if this fails people have to start tracking if issue is that there is 
RNG device or reading fails or issue with setting up property.

In v1 it was said that you won't update it if the kaslr-seed property exists.
I can't see this in the code. Or do I read it incorrectly?

Based on my note above that you shouldn't change kaslr-seed if exists.

What would also make sense is to extend kaslrseed command to pass one more 
parameter to pass which RNG instance should generate data on system with more 
RNGs. Then pretty much with command you can choose different RNG because current 
code hardcoded it to instance 0.

Do you have correct dependency in generic code when MEASURED_BOOT is enabled as 
was mentioned in v1? If yes it should be mentioned in commit message.

Thanks,
Michal
