hwrng: chaoskey - drop workaround for old hwrng core limitation

Browse source 
The hwrng core used to mask 'quality' with 1023; that has been removed
in commit 506bf0c046 ("hwrng: core - allow
perfect entropy from hardware devices"), so we can now just set quality
to 1024.

/* Set the 'quality' metric. Quality is measured in units of
* 1/1024's of a bit ("mills"). This should be set to 1024,
* but there is a bug in the hwrng core which masks it with
* 1023.
*
* The patch that has been merged to the crypto development
* tree for that bug limits the value to 1024 at most, so by
* setting this to 1024 + 1023, we get 1023 before the fix is
* merged and 1024 afterwards. We'll patch this driver once
* both bits of code are in the same tree.
