Does the PinePhone have a hardware random number generator?
#1
Does the Allwinner A64 used in the PinePhone have a hardware random number generator, or do Linux users have to rely solely on the Linux kernel's pseudo-random rng?
#2
Yes. It's not supported by the kernel.

Has support come with the 5.9 kernel, or is this component still completely unsupported?
