However, imx-rngc.c sets the quality to 19, but may return less than 32 bytes; hid_u2fzero.c sets the quality to 1; and users may override the quality setting manually. In case there is less than one bit to credit, keep track of it and add that credit to the next iteration. Cc: Matt Mackall Cc: Herbert Xu Cc: Jason A.
