The current_quality variable exposed as a module parameter is fundamentally broken: If it is set at boot time, it is overwritten once the first hw rng device is loaded; if it is set at runtime, it is without effect if the hw rng device had its quality value set to 0 (and no default_quality was set); and if a new rng is selected, it gets overwritten. Therefore, mark it as obsolete, and replace it by the per-rng quality setting. Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Cc: Jason A.
