Add optional width (8, 16, 32) and mask properties to the binding.
The width selects the bus access size for reads. The mask is ANDed
with the raw register value to allow only the entropy-bearing bits
through.

Update the example to show a typical 8-bit configuration.
Update SPDX to dual license to match kernel convention.
Drop the misleading '32-bit aligned' constraint from the reg
description since alignment now depends on the configured width.

* [PATCH v3 2/2] hw_random: timeriomem-rng: add configurable read width and data mask

The TODO for supporting read sizes other than 32 bits and masking has
been sitting in this driver since 2009.  Implement it.

Add width (8, 16, or 32 bits) and mask properties to the platform data
and device tree bindings.  The read loop dispatches on width using
readb/readw/readl so a configured 8-bit access doesn't trigger a bus
error on hardware that rejects 32-bit reads to that address.  The mask
is ANDed with the value before storing.

These are platform properties, not runtime policy -- width depends on
SoC integration, mask reflects which output bits carry entropy.

The alignment check in probe is updated to verify the resource is
aligned to the configured width instead of hardcoding 4-byte alignment.
