Hello Marek,

Move the turris-mox-rwtm firmware node from Turris MOX' device tree into the generic armada-37xx.dtsi file.
I disagree with this patch. This firmware is specific to Turris MOX so it is not something that should be exposed to all the Armada 3700 based boards.
If you want you still can create an dtsi for this and include it when needed.

Gregory, we are planning to send pull-request for TF-A documentation, adding information that people can compile the firmware with CZ.NIC's firmware.
Since this firmware exposes HW random number generator, it is possible that people will start using it for espressobin.
In that case this won't be specific for Turris MOX anymore.
Part of the problem is that it looks specific to the Turris MOX.
But please help me understand the big picture first. How is the firmware distributed? Is the binary part of linux-firmware? How does it get loaded? Does the firmware contain anything which is specific to the Turris MOX? Could the hardware number generator part be split out into a more generic sounding name blob?
