kernel: enable CONFIG_HW_RANDOM to be built-in
Starting with kernels around 6.18 and 6.19 I noticed, that /dev/hwrng was no longer present and the TPM 2.0 usually found in modern computers did therefore not automatically seed the kernel RNG with the hw random subsystem. Enabling CONFIG_HW_RANDOM to yes fixes this. The subsystem is rather small and should not increase the default kernel size too much. Signed-off-by: Markus Theil <theil.markus@gmail.com>
