Increase rng-seed size to make Linux happy and initialize rng pool instantly. Linux 5.19+ requires 32 bytes of entropy to initialize random pool, but u-boot currently provides only 8 bytes. Linux 5.18 and probably some vesrions before it used to require 64 bytes. Bump min value to 64 bytes to be on a safe side.
Boot with 8 byte rng-seed (Linux 6.11): # dmesg | grep crng [ 12.089286] random: crng init done Boot with 32 byte rng-seed (Linux 6.11): # dmesg | grep crng [ 0.000000] random: crng init done
