Re: [PATCH 2/2] Override drivers/char/random only after FIPS-mode RNGs become available

This commit fixes a timing issue introduced in the previous commit "crypto: rng - Override drivers/char/random in FIPS mode" where the crypto RNG was attempting to override the drivers/char/random interface before the default RNG became available. The previous implementation would immediately register the external RNG during module initialization, which could fail if the default RNG wasn't ready.

Why isn't this just part of the previous commit so that there is no regression anywhere?
