5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Marek Behún kabel@kernel.org
commit 8006aff15516a170640239c5a8e6696c0ba18d8e upstream.
According to the review by Bill Cox [1], the Atmel SHA204A random number generator produces random numbers with very low entropy.
Set the lowest possible entropy for this chip just to be safe.
