Use the new group field of struct miscdevice for managing the sysfs
entries instead of manually adding/removing via device_create_file()
and device_remove_file(). This simplifies the code a lot and fixes
the possible races.

omap4_rng_init() checks bit 10 of the RNG_CONFIG_REG to determine whether
the RNG is already running before performing any initiliasation. This is not
the correct register to check, as the enable bit is in RNG_CONFIG_CONTROL.
Read from RNG_CONTROL_REG instead.

disabling TRNG
In omap4_rng_init(), a check of bit 10 of the RNG_CONFIG_REG is done to determine
whether the RNG is running. This is suspicious firstly due to the use of
RNG_CONTROL_ENABLE_TRNG_MASK and secondly because the same mask is written to
RNG_CONTROL_REG after configuration of the FROs. Similar suspicious logic is
repeated in omap4_rng_cleanup() when RNG_CONTROL_REG masked with
RNG_CONTROL_ENABLE_TRNG_MASK is read, the same mask bit is cleared, and then
written to RNG_CONFIG_REG. Unless the TRNG is enabled with one bit in RNG_CONTROL
and disabled with another in RNG_CONFIG and these bits are mirrored in some way,
I believe that the TRNG is not really shutting off.
Apart from the strange logic, I have reason to suspect that the OMAP4 related
code in this driver is driving an Inside Secure IP hardware RNG and strongly
suspect that bit 10 of RNG_CONFIG_REG is one of the bits configuring the
sampling rate of the FROs. This option is by default set to 0 and is not being
set anywhere in omap-rng.c. Reading this bit during omap4_rng_init() will
always return 0. It will remain 0 because ~(value of TRNG_MASK in control) will
always be 0, because the TRNG is never shut off. This is of course presuming
that the OMAP4 features the Inside Secure IP.
I'm interested in knowing what the guys at TI think about this, as only they
can confirm or deny the detailed structure of these registers.

This change converts bcm63xx-rng to use devm* API for managing all
resources, which allows us to dispense with the rest of error handling
path and remove() function. Also we combine hwern and driver-private
data into a single allocation, use clk_prepare_enable() instead
of "naked" clk_enable() and move clock enabling/disabling into hwrnd
inti(0 and cleanup() methods so the clock stays off until rng is
used.

Instead of using #ifdefs let's mark suspend and resume methods as
__maybe_unused which will suppress compiler warnings about them being
unused and provide better compile coverage.
Because SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() produces an empty omap_rng_pm structure in
case of !CONFIG_PM_SLEEP neither omap_rng_suspend nor omap_rng_resume
will end up being referenced and the change will not result in
increasing image size.

Even if bus is not hot-pluggable, the devices can be unbound from the
driver via sysfs, so we should not be using __exit annotations on
remove() methods. The only exception is drivers registered with
platform_driver_probe() which specifically disables sysfs bind/unbind
attributes.
Similarly probe() methods should not be marked __init unless
platform_driver_probe() is used.

Currently we only register the device when a valid RNG is added.
However the way it's done is buggy because we test whether there
is a current RNG to determine whether we need to register. As
the current RNG may be missing due to a reinitialisation error
this can lead to a reregistration of the device.
As the device already has to handle a NULL current RNG anyway,
let's just register the device always and remove the complexity.

current_rng holds one reference, and we bump it every time we want
to do a read from it.
This means we only hold the rng_mutex to grab or drop a reference,
so accessing /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current doesn't
block on read of /dev/hwrng.
Using a kref is overkill (we're always under the rng_mutex), but
a standard pattern.
This also solves the problem that the hwrng_fillfn thread was
accessing current_rng without a lock, which could change (eg. to NULL)
underneath it.

In next patch, we use reference counting for each struct hwrng,
changing reference count also needs to take mutex_lock. Before
releasing the lock, if we try to stop a kthread that waits to
take the lock to reduce the referencing count, deadlock will
occur.

There's currently a big lock around everything, and it means that we
can't query sysfs (eg /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current)
while the rng is reading. This is a real problem when the rng is slow,
or blocked (eg. virtio_rng with qemu's default /dev/random backend)
This doesn't help (it leaves the current lock untouched), just adds a
lock to protect the read function and the static buffers, in preparation
for transition.

CONFIG_PM is defined as the alternative of CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP, so it can be used instead of that.
Besides, after commit b2b49ccbdd54 (PM: Kconfig: Set PM_RUNTIME if
PM_SLEEP is selected) PM_RUNTIME is always set if PM is set, so
using the alternative isn't even necessary.

hwrng: fetch randomness only after device init
It may trig a oops while loading or unloading the pseries-rng module for both
PowerVM and PowerKVM guests.
This patch does two things:
- pass an intermediate well sized buffer to plpar_hcall(). This is acceptalbe
since we're not on a hot path.
- move to the new read API so that we know the return buffer size for sure.

The khwrngd thread is started when a hwrng device of sufficient
quality is registered. The virtio-rng device is backed by the
hypervisor, and we trust the hypervisor to provide real entropy.
A malicious or badly-implemented hypervisor is a scenario that's
irrelevant -- such a setup is bound to cause all sorts of badness, and a
compromised hwrng is the least of the user's worries.
Given this, we might as well assume that the quality of randomness we
receive is perfectly trustworthy. Hence, we use 100% for the factor,
indicating maximum confidence in the source.
