One more question: is it not possible to mix in data into the DRNG? I thought 
it would be possible with the Qualcomm DRBG.

Note, I am asking because of my /dev/random drop-in-replacement 
implementation, any RNG from the kernel crypto API can be configured to be 
used as an output DRNG. Though, this will only work if the DRNG also accepts 
seed from the software noise sources.
The v1 hardware supports seeding but the register is Read Only for SW and
only trusted zone (firmware) can write.

v2 hardware slice does not have seeding. v2 seeding is not accessible to
SW.

So in short, it is not available for us to use :(
