Re: [PATCH] UefiPayloadPkg: Add RNG support

["Patrick Rudolph" <patrick.rudolph@9elements.com>]

Hi Maurice,
it's a copy of the MdeModulePkg's BaseRngLib with runtime detection support.

Are the MdeModulePkg maintainers OK with adding runtime detection support?
I had the impression that it should only be used on platforms
supporting rdrand for sure, and therefore
must not be used on platforms not supporting rdrand.

Kind Regards,
Patrick Rudolph
