    There is a random number generator that updates a register in the SCU
    every second. This is compatible with the timeriomem rng driver in the
    kernel.
    
    From the timeriomem_rng bindings:
    
      quality: estimated number of bits of true entropy per 1024 bits read
      from the rng.  Defaults to zero which causes the kernel's default
      quality to be used instead.  Note that the default quality is usually
      zero which disables using this rng to automatically fill the kernel's
      entropy pool.
    
    As to the recommended value for us to use:
