3341323bb4 hwrng: timeriomem - Use phys address rather than virt
There is no ioremap'ing or anything in timeriomem-rng.c as I foolishly
used already remapped virtual addresses instead of passing the physical
address to be polled.

This patch fixes this flaw and lets developers do the Right Thing(tm).

9c3c133b1e hwrng: timeriomem - New driver
Some hardware platforms, the TS-7800[1] is one for example, can
supply the kernel with an entropy source, albeit a slow one for
TS-7800 users, by just reading a particular IO address.  This
source must not be read above a certain rate otherwise the quality
suffers.

The driver is then hooked into by calling
platform_device_(register|add|del) passing a structure similar to:
------
static struct timeriomem_rng_data ts78xx_ts_rng_data = {
        .address        = (u32 *__iomem) TS_RNG,
        .period         = 1000000, /* one second */
};

static struct platform_device ts78xx_ts_rng_device = {
        .name           = "timeriomem_rng",
        .id             = -1,
        .dev            = {
                .platform_data  = &ts78xx_ts_rng_data,
        },
        .num_resources  = 0,
};
------
