    nios2: use fallback for random_get_entropy() instead of zero · c04e7270
    Jason A. Donenfeld authored
    In the event that random_get_entropy() can't access a cycle counter or
    similar, falling back to returning 0 is really not the best we can do.
    Instead, at least calling random_get_entropy_fallback() would be
    preferable, because that always needs to return _something_, even
    falling back to jiffies eventually. It's not as though
    random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision or guaranteed to
    be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all the time is
    better than returning zero all the time.
