 *
 * The exact internal entropy source mechanism depends on the chip in use but
 * all SoCs use the SAR ADC to continuously mix random bits (an internal
 * noise reading) into the HWRNG. Consult the SoC Technical Reference
 * Manual for more information.
 *
 * Can also be called from app code, if true random numbers are required without initialized RF subsystem.
 * This might be the case in early startup code of the application when the RF subsystem has not
 * started yet or if the RF subsystem should not be enabled for power saving.
 *
 * Consult ESP-IDF Programming Guide "Random Number Generation" section for
