Cover letter [PATCH v5 00/03]: hwrng: an in-kernel rngd
Quoted 5 lines · Andy Lutomirski

You're right. Would anyone object to call it "quality", as in RX signal quality? In context of a random source that is pretty accurate, I'd say. Other opinions?

I'm okay with "quality", although I'm still partial to "entropy_per_1000bits".

So, since there were no other comments, here's v5 with aforementioned change. Default is still "off". Patch 02/03 de-fuzzed for 3.15.
