This driver has no purpose.  It doesn't feed into the Linux RNG, nor
does it implement the hwrng interface.  It is accessible only via the
"rng" algorithm type of AF_ALG, which isn't used in practice.  Everyone
uses either the Linux RNG, or rarely /dev/hwrng.

Moreover, this is a PRNG whose only source of entropy is the 160-bit
seed the user passes in.  So this can be used only by a user who already
has a source of cryptographically secure random numbers, such as
/dev/random.  Which they can, and do, just use in the first place.

Just remove this driver.  There's no need to keep useless code around.

Note that the other crypto_rng drivers in drivers/crypto/ are similarly
unused and are being removed too.  This commit just handles exynos-rng.
