First, please don't post your patch as an attachment.  I recommend you use git-send-email.

You have a lot of minor spacing problems, like this one.  There should be a blank space 
before '"crypto"'.

Please create a structure instead of using macros like this.  Example:

struct sec_rng {
	__be64	rngmr;
	u8 res1[8];
	__be64 rngdsr;
	__be64 rngrcr;
...
};

and then ...

	struct sec_rng __iomem *rng = (struct sec_rng __iomem *) rng->priv;

	u64 v;
	v = rng->rngisr;

or something like that.  Try to use the built-in support for 64-bit data types when possible.

I get this confused easily, but I don't think you should be using the in/out_be macros 
either.  Just do regular reads and writes.
