Hm, I do not think that setting it to y is what is necessary. 

In crypto/Kconfig:

config CRYPTO_DRBG
        tristate
        default CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU
        select CRYPTO_RNG
        select CRYPTO_JITTERENTROPY

So, if the DRBG is selected as m, jitterentropy is selected as m. If the DRBG 
is y, jitterentropy is y.

Let us go back to your issue: why do you think you need the jitterentropy RNG 
in the kernel to begin with?
