Some blank line are unncessary, and one is missing after declaration.
This patch fix thoses style problems.

The driver name is displayed each time differently.
This patch make use of the same name everywhere.

checkpatch complains about <asm/io.h> used instead of linux/io.h.
In fact it is not needed.
This patch remove it, and in the process, alphabetize the other headers.

This patch convert the hwrng interface used by amd768-rng to its new API
by replacing data_read()/data_present() by read().

Furthermore, Instead of having two global variable, it's better to use a
private struct. This will permit to remove amd_pdev variable.

Finally, Instead of accessing hw directly via pmbase, it's better to
access after ioport_map() via ioread32/iowrite32.

Hmm, this changes a sysfs-exported name which has the potential
to break user-space.  So I think you'd need to a stronger argument
to do it other than just cleaning it up.
