[PATCH] hwrng: imx-rngc - add quality to use it as kernel entropy pool

[Marco Felsch <m.felsch@pengutronix.de>]

The RM describes the RNGB as follow:
8<----------------------------------------------------------------
The RNGB uses the True Random Number Generator (TRNG) and a
Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) to achieve a true randomness and
cryptographic strength.
8<----------------------------------------------------------------

The RNGB has 3 operation modes: self-test, seed-generation and the final
'random number generation' mode. Before we can retrieve random numbers
from the RNGB we need to generate the seed pool:
8<----------------------------------------------------------------
During the seed generation, the RNGB adds the entropy generated in the
TRNG to the 256-bit XKEY register. The PRNG algorithm executes 20.000
entropy samples from the TRNG to create an initial seed for the random
number generation.
8<----------------------------------------------------------------

The RNGB can generate 2^20 words (1 word == 4 byte) of 'random' data
after the seed pool was initialized. The pool needs to be reseeded if
more words are required. The reseeding is done automatically since
commit 3acd9ea9331c ("hwrng: imx-rngc - use automatic seeding").

We can't retrieve the TRNG values directly so we need a other way to get
the quality level. We know that the PRNG uses 20.000 entropy samples
from the TRNG to generate 2^20 words (1MiB) and the quality level is
defined as (in bits of entropy per 1024 bits of input). So the quality
level can be calculated by:

   20.000 * 1024
   ------------- = ~ 19.5
        2^20
