the Random Device Generator, eh?  didn't know we had one of those. ;)

The RNG h/w block in question shares registers, initialization and
configuration with what's known as the Freescale SEC device (a.k.a.
talitos).  Talitos does crypto and public key ops, and some
implementations don't have an RNG EU.  There needs to be one driver for
the SEC, and it's not an rng driver.
