From cb2c316b22d89072643d2685ef0eb883cae8a9de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lee Jones Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:45:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hwrng: Kconfig - Fix device node name reference /dev/hw_random => /dev/hwrng In April 2009, commit d405640 ("Driver Core: misc: add node name support for misc devices.") inadvertently changed the device node name from /dev/hw_random to /dev/hwrng. Since 6 years has passed since the change it seems unpractical to change it back, as this node name is probably considered ABI by now. So instead, we'll just change the Kconfig help to match the current situation. NB: It looks like rng-tools have already been updated.
