Subject: Consider picking up "tpm: Enable hwrng only for Pluton on AMD CPUs"
 rather sooner than later

Hi stable team, JFYI, the recently mainline commit 8f7f35e5aa6f21 ("tpm:
Enable hwrng only for Pluton on AMD CPUs") from Jarkko contains a stable
tag, but it might be worth picking up rather sooner than later, as it
fixes a regression that seems to annoy quite a few users of 6.1.y, 6.4.y
and 6.5; that's why at least Fedora is already working on picking the
fix up ahead of the stable-tree.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
