The hardware random number generator is used by OP-TEE and is access is
denied to other users with SoC level bus firewalls. Any access to this
device from Linux will result in firewall errors.

We could remove this node, but it is still valid device description,
and it is possible it could be re-enabled in the bootloader if OP-TEE
is not used. So only disable this node for now.

I have applied the following to branch master on [1].
Thank you!

[3/4] arm64: dts: ti: k3-am65-main: Do not exclusively claim SA2UL

[4/4] arm64: dts: ti: k3-j7200-mcu-wakeup: Add SA2UL node
      commit: d683a73980a61cc5d8abea7f3f996028e64e9144

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent up the chain during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a relevant bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.
