This should probably depend on CRYPTO and/or some other CRYPTO_xxx symbols.
Or (worst case) select them. :(

This message (when CONFIG_CRYPTO is disabled and no crypto facilities are enabled)
should be avoidable when the correct Kconfig entries are used:

../drivers/char/lrng/lrng_drbg.c:38:2: error: #error "Unknown DRBG in use"
#error "Unknown DRBG in use"

Please put the string on one line like several other MODULE_PARM_DESC() are done:

+MODULE_PARM_DESC(archrandom,
+ "Entropy in bits of 256 data bits from CPU noise source (e.g. RDRAND)");

With CONFIG_CRYPTO disabled, these warnings happen:

and build errors happen also, which can be prevented with Kconfig fixes.
