The U2F zero apparently has a real TRNG in it with maximum quality, not
one with quality of "1", which was likely a misinterpretation of the
field as a boolean. So remove the assignment entirely, so that we get
the default quality setting.
In the u2f-zero firmware, the 0x21 RNG command used by this driver is
handled as such [1]:
case U2F_CUSTOM_GET_RNG:
if (atecc_send_recv(ATECC_CMD_RNG,ATECC_RNG_P1,ATECC_RNG_P2,
NULL, 0,
appdata.tmp,
sizeof(appdata.tmp), &res) == 0 )
{
memmove(msg->pkt.init.payload, res.buf, 32);
U2FHID_SET_LEN(msg, 32);
usb_write((uint8_t*)msg, 64);
}
else
{
U2FHID_SET_LEN(msg, 0);
usb_write((uint8_t*)msg, 64);
}
This same call to `atecc_send_recv(ATECC_CMD_RNG,ATECC_RNG_P1,
ATECC_RNG_P2,...)` is then also used in the token's cryptographically
critical "u2f_new_keypair" function, as its rather straightforward
source of random bytes [2]:
int8_t u2f_new_keypair(uint8_t * handle, uint8_t * appid, uint8_t * pubkey)
{
struct atecc_response res;
uint8_t private_key[36];
int i;
watchdog();
if (atecc_send_recv(ATECC_CMD_RNG,ATECC_RNG_P1,ATECC_RNG_P2,
NULL, 0,
appdata.tmp,
sizeof(appdata.tmp), &res) != 0 )
{
return -1;
}
So it seems rather plain that the ATECC RNG is considered to provide
good random numbers.

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.
