tpm: tpm_tis_spi_cr50: Add default RNG quality
To allow this device to fill the kernel's entropy pool at boot, setup a default quality for the hwrng found in Cr50. After some testing with rngtest and dieharder it was, in short, discovered that the RNG produces fair quality randomness, giving around 99.93% successes in rngtest FIPS140-2. Notably, though, when testing with dieharder it was noticed that we get 3 WEAK results over 114, which isn't optimal, and also the p-values distribution wasn't uniform in all the cases, so a conservative quality value was chosen by applying an arbitrary penalty to the calculated values. For reference, this is how the values were calculated: The dieharder results were averaged, then normalized (0-1000) and re-averaged with the rngtest result (where the result was given a score of 99.93% of 1000, so 999.3), then aggregated together and averaged again. An arbitrary penalty of -100 was applied due to the retrieved value, which brings us finally to 700.
