Description
ESP has a HW TRNG that produces good quality random numbers without the need to pass them through a PRNG such as CTR DRBG.
mbedtls_esp_random is the RNG function providing access to ESP's HW TRNG.
Dropping usage of CTR DRBG by nimble eliminates it from the firnmware, saving a few K of space.
