It would be nicer to get rid of the global rng_regs variable by sticking
it into rng->priv.

I would guess that the call to of_find_compatible_node is entirely bogus
here, because the device is already passed in as ofdev in to the probe
function.

rng_init and rng_exit should be static
rng_init should be __init
rng_exit should be __exit
Since the driver is tristate in Kconfig, it would be more conventional to
use module_init() instead of device_initcall().
rng_exit needs to be marked as module_exit() to allow unloading the driver.
