So this new attribute can contain 1 to indicate user's choice, 0 otherwise. Regards, PrasannaKumar

This patch introduces a new sysfs attribute file 'rng_selected' which shows the the rng chosen by userspace. If a rng source is chosen by user via echo some valid string to rng_current there should be a way to signal this choice to userspace. The new attribute file 'rng_selected' shows either the name of the rng chosen or 'none'.
