The "Arm True Random Number Generator Firmware Interface"[1] provides
an SMCCC based interface to a true hardware random number generator.
So far we are using that in arch_get_random_seed(), but it might be
useful to expose the entropy through the /dev/hwrng device as well. This
allows to assess the quality of the implementation, by using "rngtest"
from the rng-tools package, for example.
Patch 1 creates a platform device, triggered by the previous discovery
of the SMCCC TRNG service.
Patch 2 implements a hw_random platform driver, which is instantiated
through this said platform device.
The driver can be loaded as module, or built into the kernel.
[1] https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0098/latest/
Changelog v3 ... v4:
- drop pointless driver loading message
- drop unneeded init() routine
Changelog v2 ... v3:
- split platform device and driver
Changelog v1 ... v2:
- fix building as a module
- de-register device upon exit
- mention module name in Kconfig

At the moment we probe for the Random Number Generator SMCCC service,
and use that in the core code (arch_get_random). However the hardware
entropy can also be useful to access from userland, and be it to assess
its quality.
Register a platform device when the SMCCC TRNG service is detected, to
allow a hw_random driver to hook onto this.
The function registering the device is deliberately made in a way which
allows expansion, so other services that could be exposed via a platform
device (or some other interface), can be added here easily.

So far we are using that in arch_get_random_seed(), but it might be
useful to expose the entropy through the /dev/hwrng device as well. This
allows to assess the quality of the implementation, by using "rngtest"
from the rng-tools package, for example.
Add a simple platform driver implementing the hw_random interface.
The corresponding platform device is created by the SMCCC core code,
we just match it here by name and provide a module alias.
Since the firmware takes care about serialisation, this can happily
coexist with the arch_get_random_seed() bits.
