The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup: it renames the 'entropy' module to 'storage_salt' and moves it into the storage subsystem. The same device-unique salt logic (CPU ID plus one-time-programmable randomness block, or a master-key-derived salt on newer devices) is preserved, just called at a different point during storage setup rather than at boot. There is no indication this fixes a security bug or changes cryptographic behavior.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as ordinary maintenance/refactoring. If reviewing for release, verify that storage_salt_get() is invoked exactly once before storage_init() and that the OTP randomness block write/lock behavior on first boot remains unchanged.
