Can we split the platform device and the platform driver? The platform
device should be registered by the core code once it discovers the
SMCCC TRNG availabily. The platform driver can then use ordinary
module alias autoloading etc based on the platform device availabilty.

This requires the following to be added though

MODULE_ALIAS("platform: smccc_trng")

but all the smccc calls could be dropped from the probe function in that case.
