crypto: caam - change starting entropy delay value
The entropy delay (the length in system clocks of each entropy sample) for the RNG4 block of CAAM is dependent on the frequency of the SoC. By elaborate methods, it has been determined that a good starting value for all platforms integrating the CAAM IP is 3200. Using a higher value has additional benefit of speeding up the process of instantiating the RNG, since the entropy delay will be increased and instantiation of the RNG state handles will be reattempted by the driver. If the starting value is low, for certain platforms, this can lead to a quite lengthy process. This patch changes the starting value of the length of the entropy sample to 3200 system clocks. In addition to this change, the attempted entropy delay values are now printed on the console upon initialization of the RNG block. While here, a safeguard for yielding the processor was added for ensuring that in very adverse cases, the CPU isn't hogged by the instantiation loop.
