[PATCH v2 5/6] hwrng: imx-rngc - use polling for initial seed

From: Martin Kaiser
Date: Thu Aug 24 2023 - 15:25:10 EST


Use polling instead of interrupt + completion to wait until the initial
seed was calculated. This should take about 30ms.

Call readl_poll_timeout and set the poll interval to the recommended
maximum of 20ms. readl_poll_timeout uses usleep_range, this is based on
a hrtimer. The task will we put to sleep while waiting, this does not
burn CPU cycles by waiting in the foreground.

v2:
- use shorter timeout and polling interval
- readl_poll_timeout does not wait in the foreground
