When rng->read is NULL you already fail in the registration, no need to
check here.

When rng->init fails you probably don't want to add it to the list.

You can initialize a variable with the minimum of count and
RNG_BUFFER_SIZE here,

Use it here instead of RNG_BUFFER_SIZE

and drop this check.

When you get an error in the second loop iteration then cur is true and
you return it instead of the error. Is that what you want?

Please use positive logic, it's usually easier to read.

Please make sure you do not loose memory in infrastructure code.

This is unused, no?
