[PATCH 0/3] crypto: atmel-sha204a - multiple RNG fixes

[Lothar Rubusch <l.rubusch@gmail.com>]

When testing the RNG functionality on the Atmel SHA204a hardware, I
found the following issues: rngtest reported failures and hexdump
reveiled only the first 8 bytes out of 32 provided actually entropy.

Having a closer look into it, I found a (small) memory leak, missing
to free work_data, miss-reading of the count field into the entropy
fields and parts of the 32 random bytes staying 0 due to reading the
slow i2c device.

The series proposes fixes and how fixed functionality can be/was
verified. Executing rngtest afterward showed a decent result, due
to the i2c bus a bit slow.

All setups require selecting the Atmel-sha204a as active RNG.
$ cat /sys/class/misc/hw_random/rng_available
    3f104000.rng 1-0064 none

$ echo 1-0064 > /sys/class/misc/hw_random/rng_current

$ cat /sys/class/misc/hw_random/rng_current
    1-0064

Testing RNG properties currently shows problematic results:
$ rngtest < /dev/hwrng
    rngtest 2.6
