User is able to select a chosen rng by writing its name to rng_current
but there is no way to reset it without unbinding the rng. Let user
write "" to rng_current and delesect the chosen rng.

That's a really good idea. I also thought about something like that.

Do you mind reviewing the code?

Two lines later err is assigned the return value of mutex_lock_interruptible().
So the -ENODEV value assignment does nothing.

Indeed true. Will change this when I make a v2.
I am even thinking if it makes sense to return error when user writes
"" to rng_current and there is no rng device registered. I think
returning 0 should be fine.
