Jason A. Donenfeld 79af7be44c powerpc/powernv: delay rng platform device creation until later in boot
commit 887502826549caa7e4215fd9e628f48f14c0825a upstream.

The platform device for the rng must be created much later in boot.
Otherwise it tries to connect to a parent that doesn't yet exist,
resulting in this splat:

  [    0.000478] kobject: '(null)' ((____ptrval____)): is not initialized, yet kobject_get() is being called.
  [    0.002925] [c000000002a0fb30] [c00000000073b0bc] kobject_get+0x8c/0x100 (unreliable)
  [    0.003071] [c000000002a0fba0] [c00000000087e464] device_add+0xf4/0xb00

  [    0.003623] [c000000002a0fe20] [c000000002060c38] random_init+0xc0/0x214

This patch fixes the issue by doing the platform device creation inside
of machine_subsys_initcall.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
