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,
};
