[patch 2/5] Core HW RNG support

From: dsaxena
Date: Wed Oct 19 2005 - 04:18:09 EST


This patch adds support for the HW RNG core. The core code
simply implements the user space interface and calls HW-specific
function pointers to do the real data gathering. We do this
instead of having each driver re-implement the user space functionality
so we do not end up with a bunch of drivers replicating the exact
same 50 lines of code (see drivers/watchdog).
