Hi,

there is no driver for this device. I have searched and found this link http://forum.lemaker.org/thread-23618-1-1.html which includes a link to the full story. If I read all right then on bananian /dev/hwrng appears only if the adapted or a more actual sun4i-ss.ko module is loaded (there is written: "module author has indicated this will be going into the mainline kernel shortly“). This module is also loaded on a Banana PI with current CentOS 7. So does the kernel of CentOS 7.3 for ARM32 include this patch and if yes why it does not work or otherwise why this device appears but has no driver?
WRT kernel question, we're just following upstream vanilla kernel, that is "RPMized", but we don't include specific patches, etc. Is that sun4i-ss kernel module now already available "upstream" ? If yes, we can have a look at enabling it (if not by default) for next kernel builds
