Hi,

the following patch is fully CAVS tested on 64 bit and 32 bit.

Note, this change cannot be made for random.c or ansi_cprng.c, unfortunately.

---8<---
The newly released FIPS 140-2 IG 9.8 specifies that for SP800-90A
compliant DRBGs, the FIPS 140-2 continuous random number generator test
is not required any more.

This patch removes the test and all associated data structures.

Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller <redacted>
Applied.
