I received this one also before. But that seems to be an error on the OpenRISC 
platform as the random_get_entropy() function or the get_cycles function is 
not implemented as defined.

The crypto code uses the following which triggers the issue:

        __u64 tmp = 0;

        tmp = random_get_entropy();

That one seems to be an appropriate use of random_get_entropy() which on 
almost all arches is an alias for get_cycles().
