The TPM RNG functionality is not necessary for entropy when the CPU already supports the RDRAND instruction. The TPM RNG functionality was previously disabled on a subset of AMD fTPM series, but reports continue to show problems on some systems causing stutter root caused to TPM RNG functionality. Expand disabling TPM RNG use for all AMD fTPMs whether they have versions that claim to have fixed or not. To accomplish this, move the detection into part of the TPM CRB registration and add a flag indicating that the TPM should opt-out of registration to hwrng.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
