hwrng: chaoskey - Add support for Araneus Alea I USB RNG
Adds support for the Araneus Alea I USB hardware Random Number Generator which is interfaced with in exactly the same way as the Altus Metrum ChaosKey. We just add the appropriate device ID and modify the config help text. Signed-off-by: Bob Ham <bob.ham@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

Say Y here if you want to connect an AltusMetrum ChaosKey to
|

your computer's USB port. The ChaosKey is a hardware random
|
||||
number generator which hooks into the kernel entropy pool to
|
||||
ensure a large supply of entropy for /dev/random and
|
||||
/dev/urandom and also provides direct access via /dev/chaoskeyX
