Revert "of: Feed entire flattened device tree into the random pool"
This reverts commit 109b6236. Tim Bird expressed concern that this will have a bad effect on boot time, and while simple tests have shown it to be okay with simple tree, a device tree blob can potentially be quite large and add_device_randomness() is not a fast function. Rather than do this for all platforms unconditionally, I'm reverting this patch and would like to see it revisited. Instead of feeding the entire tree into the random pool, it would probably be appropriate to hash the tree and feed the hash result into the pool. There really isn't a lot of randomness in a device tree anyway. In the majority of cases only a handful of properties are going to be different between machines with the same baseboard.
