I couldn't understand your question very well.  So I'm not sure this is
the expected answer:
I only renamed pseudo-random functions defined in lib/random32.c in the
commit 496f2f93 ("random32: rename random32 to prandom").
This patch series aims for finishing the naming transition and removing
the backword compatibility wrapper macros.  Non pseudo-random functions
are unrelated to this patch series.
