The factory OTP, if supported, contains factory-programmed information such as typically the serial number or production week for the chip. As this is device-unique information, submit it into the system entropy pool. This does not count as improvement of the entropy as such but in practice it makes it a bit more random to mix in these numbers. Cc: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Acked-by: Jason A.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
