This is a common warning on some i.MX6 devices which indicates a CAAM
RNG self-test failure, see the description in
drivers/crypto/caam/rng_self_test.c which should be run by the
bootloader to ensure that the RNG part of the CAAM is not faulty.
This requires the CAAM driver within barebox to be enabled.
