When a hw_random device's quality is non-zero, it will automatically be
used to fill the kernel's entropy pool. Since timeriomem_rng is used by
many different devices, the quality needs to be provided by platform
data or device tree.

Some hardware RNGs provide a single register for obtaining random data.
Instead of signaling when new data is available, the reader must wait a
fixed amount of time between reads for new data to be generated.
timeriomem_rng implements this scheme with the period specified in
platform data or device tree. While the period is specified in
microseconds, the implementation used a standard timer which has a
minimum delay of 1 jiffie and caused a significant bottleneck for
devices that can update at 1us. By switching to an hrtimer, 1us periods
now only delay at most 2us per read.

Use this new function to make code more comprehensible, since we are
reinitialzing the completion, not initializing.

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release
or on probe failure, since commit 0998d06310
(device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound).
Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device driver data to NULL.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.
Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

This patch converts the drivers in drivers/char/hw_random/* to use the
module_platform_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit

There is no ioremap'ing or anything in timeriomem-rng.c as I foolishly
used already remapped virtual addresses instead of passing the physical
address to be polled.

Some hardware platforms, the TS-7800[1] is one for example, can
supply the kernel with an entropy source, albeit a slow one for
TS-7800 users, by just reading a particular IO address. This
source must not be read above a certain rate otherwise the quality
suffers.
The driver is then hooked into by calling
platform_device_(register|add|del) passing a structure similar to:
------
static struct timeriomem_rng_data ts78xx_ts_rng_data = {
.address = (u32 *__iomem) TS_RNG,
.period = 1000000, /* one second */
};
static struct platform_device ts78xx_ts_rng_device = {
.name = "timeriomem_rng",
.id = -1,
.dev = {
.platform_data = &ts78xx_ts_rng_data,
},
.num_resources = 0,
};
