X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3c0c81de525d2a2718e23754a5795483167904ac;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

prandom: remove next_pseudo_random32

next_pseudo_random32 implements a LCG with known bad statistical
properties and was only used in two pieces of testing code.

With no remaining users now, remove it.
