So you reset the master, then the channel, allocate the RNG descriptor, allocate the random data buffer, fill the descriptor with values for an RNG request the size of your buffer (filling with the physical address of your random data buffer), and submit the descriptor's physical address to the FR..

btw, I'm finding it hard to help without seeing sec register transaction data, descriptor data, virtual and physical addresses, etc.
