Subject: [PATCH 5.17 40/75] crypto: caam - fix i.MX6SX entropy delay value

From: Fabio Estevam <festevam@...x.de>

commit 4ee4cdad368a26de3967f2975806a9ee2fa245df upstream.

Since commit 358ba762d9f1 ("crypto: caam - enable prediction resistance
in HRWNG") the following CAAM errors can be seen on i.MX6SX:

caam_jr 2101000.jr: 20003c5b: CCB: desc idx 60: RNG: Hardware error
hwrng: no data available

This error is due to an incorrect entropy delay for i.MX6SX.

Fix it by increasing the minimum entropy delay for i.MX6SX
as done in U-Boot:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20220415111049.2565744-1-gaurav.jain@nxp.com/

As explained in the U-Boot patch:

"RNG self tests are run to determine the correct entropy delay.
Such tests are executed with different voltages and temperatures to identify
the worst case value for the entropy delay. For i.MX6SX, it was determined
that after adding a margin value of 1000 the minimum entropy delay should be
at least 12000."
