Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] hw_random: timeriomem-rng: add configurable read width and data mask
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 12:46:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617114642.1911191-1-inasj268@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260617114436.1909659-1-inasj268@gmail.com>
The TODO for supporting read sizes other than 32 bits and masking has
been sitting in this driver since 2009. Implement it.
Add reg-io-width (1, 2, or 4 bytes) and mask support. The read loop
dispatches on width using readb/readw/readl so a configured 1-byte
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.
