Thanks for the notification.

I think this is a false-positive discussed before. __latent_entropy is 
seemingly allowed for an entire linear buffer as seen in the declaration of 
the variable input_pool_data in driver/char/random.c which is an array of u32.

The struct chacha20_state is a linear buffer of u32 words. 

struct chacha20_block {
        u32 constants[4];
        union {
                u32 u[CHACHA_KEY_SIZE_WORDS];
                u8  b[CHACHA_KEY_SIZE];
        } key;
        u32 counter;
        u32 nonce[3];
};

Therefore it should be identical to the aforementioned example. The 
__latent_entropy marker therefore seems to be appropriate for this structure.
