Some devices may need to perform a reset before using the RNG, such as the

Since the reset is unique to the 6368, you may want to make the property
mandatory for the 6368 compatible string and optional otherwise.

Perhaps the reset could be done at an earlier boot stage as well and then the
reset would even be optional on 6368?


No, this isn't possible on bmips, which is device tree only.
However, it's how is done in bcm63xx, which is why it wasn't needed before.

Best regards,
Álvaro.
