Subject: Re: [REGESSION] Bug 216502 - slow crng initialization on Rockchip
 3399 (Friendyarm NanoPi M4) #forregzbot

[Note: this mail contains only information for Linux kernel regression
tracking. Mails like these contain '#forregzbot' in the subject to make
then easy to spot and filter out. The author also tried to remove most
or all individuals from the list of recipients to spare them the hassle.]
