Do you have rng-tools on the image? That helped me with the kernel random pool
initialization for sshd in iMX8 and openssl 1.1.1x.

I don't see how 53b5654d6e could change this behavior for target openssl.
2c6b9b918c could change the behavior and would be suprise. Maybe also
target recipe needs --with-rand-seed=os,devrandom on iMX8 or similar platforms.
